   This code is useful for communicating with emacs, particularly in
   subprocesses which are started by emacs.  It allows you to do structured
   ipc by passing printed s-expressions between emacs and the subprocess -
   strings are parsed into a union "Value" by this code and there is also a
   fairly convenient way to extract data.
