+in conjunction with the pd~ object \, which starts a pd sub-process.
+Messages sent to the sub-process standard output appear on the output
+of the pd~ object in the owning process. This might also be useful
+in other situations. Note that there's no corresponding "stdin" object
+- there seems to be no one canonical way such a thing should act.;
