+A persistent object is an object that survives reboot.
+On Unix, files and directories are persistent but
+processes and file descriptors are not.  EROS is
+an example of an orthogonally persistent system:
+processes and capabilities also survive reboot.  To a
+process, it generally only looks as if it had not been
+scheduled for a long time; the rest of its environment
+remains essentially the indistinguishable.
