I think that's an interesting idea, however I'm not sure how easy it is
to implement that, and who would have the time to try their hand on
this.

I notice that using process substitution only works when both inputs are
of that kind; comparing process substitution with a regular file results
in an Internal error referencing src/buffer.inline.h:76
