[cap-talk] arbitrary code execution service?

You asked about E, but since you asked on cap-talk and not e-lang, I'll 
respond for CapROS.

CapROS already has a service to run abritrary code, in fact there's a 
server running right now.

If CapROS supported E then you could create a service to run arbitrary E 
code. I'm not sure what's involved in supporting E.

This is easy.

This is already implemented and running.
