Not beyond wit but perhaps beyond patience.

It would certainly be possible to emulate the "easy middle" of one POSIX guest on a different POSIX host. But the dusty corners are going to get in the way, where we currently rely on guest and host having identical semantics, and pass the system call through to the host.

It's a big job.
