When you start such an Emacs process as a subprocess, it saves you from
having to setup a separate communication channel, which requires
agreeing on a channel "name", making sure that name is not already in
use, and can require extra care to avoid security problems.
IOW, I think using stdin/stdout this way is many cases would be The
Right Way and using a separate network/socket/namedpipe would be
a workaround.

I'm not volunteering to do the job, admittedly.
Maybe the easiest way to solve this would be to provide a function
`make-stdin-process` which returns a process-object associated to
stdin/stdout (instead of trying to change `read-from-minibuffer`).
