;; In this file we put foreign types that are so

;; A port name.
;;
;; In practice, this often refers to a port within the
;; local task @code{(task-self)}, but in principle it could refer
;; to a port within some other task (e.g., when using
;; @code{port-extract-right!} or @code{port-insert-right!}). Context
;; is required!
;;
;; This seems to be the same situation as with *nix file descriptors.
