Hey Plan 9 peeps, esoteric question:
In 9P, are there actual use-cases for flushing a Tflush? The semantics of such a thing are defined in flush(5), but is this useful?
The best I can think of is perhaps simplifying clients that wish to gracefully hang up; just have them flush all outstanding tags without having to check whether it's a Tflush.

Plan 9 enthusiasts: I have released a wasm interpreter for plan 9, allowing you to easily run non-native wasi CLI tools on p9. It can also "package" wasi programs to run like native apps, the same way you do for RC. It is totally not just a frontend for wazero.

Many interesting programs are not implemented in C, but the scripting language rc. This shows that the filesystem abstraction (everything really IS a file) is indeed very powerful.

Why use bloated tools if we can already do everything we want?
