How hard would it be to modify files so that we could use them like a pipe to another program? I'll give an example…
global myfile = open("| shasum > output");
print myfile, "hello";
close(myfile);
Then the output file would have the sha1 value for "hello". I don't think it would be a major change to files to support this, but I've been wrong before. :)
