21 // numbers before execing a child; stdin, stdout and stderr are ubiqutous
22 // examples.
23 //
24 // However, when using a zygote model, this becomes troublesome. Since the
25 // descriptors which need to be in these slots generally aren't known, any code
26 // could open a resource and take one of the reserved descriptors. Simply
27 // overwriting the slot isn't a viable solution.

29 // We could try to fill the reserved slots as soon as possible, but this is a
30 // fragile solution since global constructors etc are able to open files.
31 //

33 // slots and add a layer of indirection in the form of this singleton object.
34 // It maps from an abstract key to a descriptor. If independent modules each
35 // need to define keys, then values should be chosen randomly so as not to
