No such beast. If you're used to perl, you're dealing with the
equivalent of backticks or "qx", not something more complicated like
process filehandles. At some point, we'll probably introduce a more
general mechanism resembling filehandles, which will solve a number of
problems including this one, but for now you're stuck for it.
