I should note that, as myFascistHousemate just whined at moi,
that we need to make sure that we are clear about the
distinctions between
        unix philosophy
        unix architecture
since these two get merged, just as many of us tend
to *GLOB the kernel/shell/application stuff into
'that unix stuff'.
for those interested they might want to go back,
pull out their copies of the BSTJ ( Bell System Technical Journal )
and review the core architectural abstractions, things
that are also at the core of the litigation in re Linux.
for your amusement, cf
<http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/who/dmr/cacm.html>
and chant

	"What a Long Strange Trip it has been!"

then be happy that as yet, no one asks perl coders

	so where is that ioctl() call

cf man ioctl
