That's exactly the part that needs to be carefully designed.  It is
nowhere near what we have now, because the current expression of "the
idea of what the desired layout should be" is the glyph matrices,
which in their present shape cannot be shared by several processes.

I'm not even sure we could come up with a useful scheme that would
allow such a division in a way that will let the communications
between the two work efficiently.  It remains to be shown that this is
feasible.
