	I'd expect that's "by definition". I don't know how it'll be
done, though - starting up processes on VMS is more expensive than
UNIX - long pipelines will probably not be a great deal of fun.
It'll be nice to finally be able to pass parameters to a program
in a reasonable manner... (unless P1003.2 has enough holes in it
that you get hit with "CAT /VERBOSE=TRUE/PACK=WHITSPACE/INPUT=FILE.TXT")
