No, except that reading and writing to redirected stdin/stdout will probably
work.

You could use the c interface to call c functions for interprocess communication.

clm communicates with the clean compiler using named pipes. You can find
this code in the directory compiler/main/Unix of the source code .tar of Clean,
in the files ipc.* and CoclSystemDependent.icl.
