Should this say "which pipeline"?
Certainly I think you should be able to run a pipeline from a library,
but that amounts to just saying you should be able to run a pipeline
by name and be able to import libraries in which to find it.
> Norm muses out loud about running the first pipeline
I'm fairly sure we discussed this before, but I don't remember
what we concluded.
I'm dubious about making the order of pipelines in a library significant.
But all this seems to be encroaching on the user interface. I think
we should just require that implementations
(a) provide a way to run the pipeline in a p:pipeline file
(b) provide a way to run a named pipeline after loading one or more
libraries.
