  *** Function signal-process now accepts a process object or process
  name in addition to a process id to identify the signalled process.
  
! *** Processes now have an associated `private variables' property list
! where programs can maintain process state and other per-process
! related information.  The new functions process-variable and
! set-process-variable are used to access and modify this list.
  
  ** Enhanced networking support.

  - A server can open on a random port using :service t arg.
  - Local sockets are supported using :family 'local arg.
  - Non-blocking connect is supported using :nowait t arg.
! - The process' private variables may be initialized using :vars PLIST arg;
!   a server process' private variables are automatically inherited by
!   new client processes created to handle incoming connections.
  
  To test for the availability of a given feature, use featurep like this:
    (featurep 'make-network-process '(:type datagram))
