Sorry, an important observation: it would be particularly cool if this
could be integrated with the debugger, so that one could do true
edit-and-continue. (Naturally, there will be limitations)  Then we can
communicate with the captured process whenever it breaks.

The other proposed application area is interactive interface
construction. Then some kind of interprocess communication becomes
necessary.

And (first prize) if the captured process could be interrogated for
browsing and code completion purposes.

These seem such desirable goals that an [ANN] is inevitable, although
I have a queue to be emptied first.
