I like the on-demand idea but unfortunately at the moment all we have is the ability to pass startup args to the new vm. So vm A creates vm B and gets to pass some (command line) args to it, there's no mechanism where A can ask for a new pipe handle from B. Of course we could create a mechanism where A gets to ask B 'give me the pipe handle', but I guess that would pretty much amount to a message passing system in its own right so we're back to square one!
