Perhaps the ideal solution would be a single operation 
that combines pipe-message with source.  E.g.:
"<pipe-source>/path/to/my/clever/program<enter>".

In principle this could be done without adding a new operation, by
extending pipe-message's syntax:

<pipe-message>/path/to/my/clever/program |<enter>

Does anyone see any problem with that?  It certainly could be a useful
technique.
