Ah, but can the input of the pipe be an arbitrary TCP connection

   $ cat </dev/tcp/time.nist.gov/13

Or, how about you want to compare the list of files in two directories,
but without creating temporary files. Instead of having to do

  $ cd /some/dir && ls > ~/a.txt
  $ cd /other/dir && ls > ~/b.txt
  $ diff a.txt b.txt
  $ rm a.txt b.txt

You can just do

  $ diff <(cd /some/dir && ls) <(cd /other/dir && ls)

Regards,
Dan.
