Kind of annoying the developers of "say" didn't consider this scenario. After

be controlled by another process, its not much use on its own other than
5 mins of novelty value!

I assume that their intent is that if you are doing anything remotely
serious, you will use their API.  The "say" program was probably a 15 minute

Quite possibly. Unfortunately apart from core Posix and a few system APIs, all
MacOS APIs these days are Objective-C (and swift), a language few people know
and few - including myself - have the time or inclination to learn given the
amount I'd ever use it.

effort by whoever developed the API; I doubt much thought went into it
other than as a quick "proof of concept".

It seems fairly comprehensive tbh.
