It sure would be neat if EOF's could be sent down pipes. I've heard a
rumor that you can do that in 4.2. Is that true? Something like
write(fd, nul, 0);
or something like that anyway. Is it actually hard to implement in
any version of UNIX? Doesn't seem so. Wouldn't be very compatible
with the rest of the world ...
