Ah.

Well... it's subtle, being bash, right? :)

bash creates a pipe and a subprocess for the "echo hello world", then
hooks its stdout to the pipe, just like a regular "|" pipe.

But for "grep -q hello" things are different -- for the grep process,
the pipe is added as a new fd (e.g. /dev/fd/63), and then that path is
provided on the command line.  So what bash is doing is:

	grep -q "hello" /dev/fd/63

AFAICT for grep this makes no difference unless you want it to tell you
filenames:

$ grep -l hello <(echo hello world)
/dev/fd/63
$ echo hello world | grep -l hello
(standard input)

and I'm sure there's other weird implications that I'm not remembering.

Yep!
