[fpc-pascal] Piping: high level tool? Strong types sent via pipe

I was thinking: pipes are useful to communicate between processes. How about a high level communication system instead of just sending low level strings over the pipe? For example strong typing. If you want to send an integer over a pipe, you generally have to parse the string and ensure it is a
