The was and is the current proposal, assuming that it is the easiest 
thing to do that would work. While responding to Victor, it occurred to 
me as a speculative idea that once pipes were working, it *might* be 
possible to implement the protocol as class methods, and let user code 
go directly to the interpreter. I would ask what you thought before 
seriously working on the idea.
