Since when is subprocess communications "outlawed" in Emacs for significant features that need to have good performance? The above is IME a mistaken conclusion; following it will preclude us from using many useful external programs. So please don't accept that as an axiom. Also, linking against a library instead of communicating with a program has its disadvantages as well: if the library crashes, so does Emacs.
