I don't know mimectl or Vladimir's module (how does it compare to mmap?).

To complement ESR:

• written 3 years ago
• exports a file-like interface, defines 2 object types: shm & sem
• resembles buffer but lacks the slice interface.
• has all sysV shared memory bells & whistles + native semaphore support

Technically, mmap is often built on top of shared memory OS facilities. Adding slices + Windows code for shared mem & semaphores + a simplified unified interface might be a plan.
