If the channel ends pre-exist, wouldn't it be possible to express such a
tool as a CPA (occam-like) procedure callable as a process in parallel,
i.e.

CHAN and other declarations :
PAR
  ...  whatever uses CHAN a
  ...  whatever uses CHAN b
  ...  maybe other control channel or trigger channel stuff
  protocol_process(CHAN a, CHAN b, more externals)

Given some constructs friendly to zero-copy, wouldn't this be completely
general?
