    "/.../ If modules are designed to run linked together in a shared address
    space, that almost surely means combining them into one program.

    By contrast, pipes, sockets and command-line arguments are
    communication mechanisms normally used between two separate
    programs. So when they are used for communication, the modules
    normally are separate programs. But if the semantics of the
    communication are intimate enough, exchanging complex internal
    data structures, that too could be a basis to consider the two parts
    as combined into a larger program."
