I've written a cross-platform* implementation of the pipe() syscall, currently for use within Cabal:
createPipe :: IO (Handle, Handle) https://github.com/haskell/cabal/blob/master/Cabal/tests/Distribution/Compat...
It's a bit of a shame to leave it in Cabal as it's generally useful.
I propose we add it to System.IO. Note that we'd have to copy the 5 lines in System.Posix.IO.createPipe into base as the above implementation would otherwise depend on the unix package.
+1 from me (with a preference to put it in 'process' if that's still on the table)
