three ways to run a program
ls -l
ls -l &
exec ls -l





redirections
ls -l >/dev/null </dev/null 3</dev/null






pipelines
ls -l | sort | wc


true && echo yes










sort <file | wc >output

three ways to run a program
(run (ls -l))
(&   (ls -l))
(exec-epf (ls -l))

exec-epf replaces the current process
&        forks the current process, then replaces the child
run      forks and waits

redirections
(run (ls -l) (> /dev/null) (< /dev/null) (< 3 /dev/null))

(ls -l) is one kind of "process form".
with the redirections it becomes an "extended process form".
so run, &, exec-epf can actually take extended process forms.
all process forms are also extended process forms, with zero redirections.

pipelines
(run (| (ls -l) (sort) (wc)))
so (| pf1 pf2 pf3 ...) is also defined to be a process form.

(&& (true)
    (echo yes))
similarly ||
unlike run, &, exec-epf, these take process forms, not extended process forms.
but you can make a process form from an extended one with "epf":
(epf (true) (> /dev/null))
is defined as a process form. so,
(&& (epf (true) (> /dev/null))
    (echo yes))
is a way to add redirections for a process form within an && list.

(run (| (epf (sort) (< file))
        (epf (wc) (> output)))
