It's better:

$ eval 'ls -l <(echo 1) <(echo 2) <(echo 3) <(echo 4)' | cat
ls: cannot access /proc/self/fd/11: No such file or directory
lr-x------ 1 chazelas chazelas 64 Jul 20 21:23 /proc/self/fd/10 -> pipe:[1541173]
lr-x------ 1 chazelas chazelas 64 Jul 20 21:23 /proc/self/fd/12 -> pipe:[1541175]
lr-x------ 1 chazelas chazelas 64 Jul 20 21:23 /proc/self/fd/13 -> pipe:[1541176]

Only one now instead of two.
