function workerRoutine() {
  process.on('message', function(message) {process.send(message + 1)});
}

function clientRoutine(workerMaker) {
  var worker = workerMaker();
  worker.on('message', function(message) {
    console.log(message); // 2
  });
  worker.send(1);
}

SingleFileWorker.fork(workerRoutine, clientRoutine, SingleFileWorker.scriptFilenameFromError(new Error()));

  var worker = workerMaker();
  worker.addEventListener('message', function(event) {
