Why can't you just use the Shell / ShellClient interface here? Even if you need
to interpose yourself between the real shell and this client you could simply
proxy both sides. If you don't I think you can just hand the shell_handle off to
the dbus service, which would implement the ShellClient interface.

This interface exists to allow me to hand the ShellHandle off to the dbus
service, because I couldn't figure out another way to do it :)

DBus provides a primitive that allows me to pass file descriptors across, and by
the time I'm in the DBusServiceLoader code, I have a ShellHandle and (as far as
I could tell, please correct if I'm wrong) no way to recover the FD of the
MessagePipe that underlies it.  So, instead I create a new FD pair and pass one
over DBus, which I use to get (what I believe is) a MessagePipe set up between
the two processes.

It's probably true that I could manually craft and send a message containing the
ShellHandle over the pipe I just created, if that'd be preferred. It seemed like
defining this little API just automatically handled marshalling and such for me,
so I did it this way.

I would prefer to have some way to get the ShellHandle directly to the
externally running process, without have to create a MessagePipe for this sole
purpose, but I couldn't figure out how to do so with the primitives I had.
