It strikes me that es doesn't have _quite_ the right architecture for
Plan 9. It's almost there, but not quite.

I feel there should be a separation between the sugary syntax at the
user interface, and the real functions underneath. The real functions
could just be files, served by a shell server. es rewrites normal
statements into echo > /srv/es/file / cat /srv/es/file combinations.

:-) - honest.
