You could get an idea by getting "plan9.ps" from the rc distribution and
reading the section discussing (briefly) the "#e" filesystem. It's the Plan 9
version of the environment.
I'm inclined to think that /proc could contain pointers to a process's
attached IPC objects, but not necessarily the IPC hierarchy itself. Then
again, we are talking about Unix and not Plan 9.
