I have been pouring over the Mach documentation provided with the
NeXT. It is vaguely suggested (Ch 16 of the NeXT Ref Man) that an
alternate pager object may be associated with a task. Further reading
tends to falsify this suggestion, and there doesn't appear to be any
evidence (e.g. in proc.h) that this is supported in the version of Mach
running on the NeXT.

Do other implementations of Mach allow alternate
pagers or have I just encountered forward references to features
not yet supported?
