explain 11 byte magic number for self-pipe
Oops, this should've been explained long ago but apparently not.
In response to a comment on

Unfortunately I couldn't find a way to comment on the site on a
JavaScript-free browser nor does it seem possible without
registering.
Again, anybody can send plain-text mail to:
unicorn-public@bogomips.org
No registration, no real name policy, no terms-of-service, just
plain-text. Feel free to use Tor, mixmaster or any anonymity
service, too.
