Description
The suggested use case here is a ghcjs/astreus to a backend process.
(Does phoenix's infrastructure dof something like this?)
the concern here is that in erlang a person can send any command e.g. "fork a process" to any node in the cluster. So clearly that'd be bad.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by clarifying the ghcjs/astreus-to-backend use case and the threat posed by Erlang-style commands from untrusted sources, then review how Cloud Haskell currently handles messages. Done requires an agreed, maintainer-approved scope for safely supporting this scenario.
