Notable limitations:

is that a real limitation? Do you have a practicable example where one need to share memory of different size?
i don't think this is the problem that chuck is referring to. afaiu, it's rather that the two processes need to have a priori knowledge of two different "thingies" in order to share some memory (without bad surprises): the ID and the size.
from a UX pov the question is, why it's not possible to only have to share a single "thingy" (the ID) and have the others be shared implicitly.
