Tut, tut, Dan. That's not very nice.

I have a better argument: System V message queues are an uni-UNIX abomination
that create a new name-space for no good reason, and should be avoided whenever
possible on political grounds. The single namespace created in the original
UNIX design is its greatest strength, and any attempt to confuse things by
creating objects that don't appear in it is evil, rude, and should be opposed
by all right thinking people.

There's glory for you!
