Actually, no. What was wanted was something akin to NSNotificationCenter, which delivers notifications to multiple Points B, C, D, and E on behalf of code at Point A, without the code at any point being aware of the others. While one could use the IPC facilities to build such a thing, I don't think they qualify as an actual replacement. (If they do, please tell how to use them that way. I'd like to know.)
