Orca does not speak

OK, one more nit on this argument ...

The reason this is flawed is that there is no longer a Orca running once
the pid has been killed. Restarting Orca involves assigning a new pid to
it for inter-process communications. But, that's not a replacement, it's
an application restart that necessarily includes acquiring a process id.

Now, if you could magically give Orca a new pid without killing the app,
then perhaps replace might be appropriate.
