There's another option, but I'm not sure if it's too clever/tricky to do. Anyway, on *nix we can send file descriptors over unix socket [2], then mmap them back to access content. On Windows, it looks like DuplicateHandle [1] can do nearly the same thing. This keeps everything in memory and we don't have to worry about cleaning up shm-* files.
