       | Messages I recognize are lower in the abstraction stack & this
       | isn't an inherently incorrect statement. But I think it
       | mispercieves the nature of 9p. 9p is a remote filesystem, that so
       | happens to be built out of messages. The author here emphases
       | _operations-_ messages- but 9p is really what 's in those
       | messages, what the messages represent, which is _structure_ &
       | state.
       | 
       | The 9p spirit isn't about sending messages. It's about exposing
       | your well structured state to the world. Rather than as most
       | programs do hiding it close to your chest... and only exposing
       | complex artisinally-homegrown inter-face abstracted atop that.
       | 
       | If everyone just exposed their state well, that'd be great.
