Differences:

1- we don't have this pipe process wrapping of stdin/stdout so it's extra
   C code we currently don't have.
2- I suspect that it wouldn't be quite so easy because it may interfere
   with other preexisting uses of stdin/stdout in the C code.

If/when someone implements that, then indeed we can just use a process
object to represent the parent in the client as well.
