FYI, that's noted in the article:

Plan 9 OS and the 9P protocol

I'm carving out a subsection for this, as the concept appears to contain a number of the elements (though not all of them) mentioned above. See Wikpedia's 9P (protocol) entry for more:

In particular, 9P supports Plan 9 applications through file servers:

acme: a text editor/development environment

rio: the Plan 9 windowing system

plumber: interprocess communication

ftpfs: an FTP client which presents the files and directories on a remote FTP server in the local namespace

wikifs: a wiki editing tool which presents a remote wiki as files in the local namespace

webfs: a file server that retrieves data from URLs and presents the contents and details of responses as files in the local namespace
