True. Well, more specifically, if the just-this-one flag is set, too,
then my concern goes away. Just specifying the process doesn't mean
that output from another process won't get, uh, processed, during a
call. Given the single-threaded nature of elisp now, I doubt most
uses are likely to set the flag. In fact a quick grep over the top-
level lisp sources shows most calls there just specify the process and
timeout.
(Oh... hm, timers. Same issues, also probably unlikely to be a
problem in most cases.)
