Yes.

Both the parent and the child share the stream.  For example, if
the child process pushes a module onto the stream, and then the
parent process does a read from the stream, the input to the
parent process will pass through the module that the child process
pushed onto the stream.

(Disclaimer:  This is what I think it should do.  I haven't actually
tested the code.)
