/proc/nnn/fd/nnn and bash

Has anyone use the /proc/nnn/fd/mmm special files?  Apparently, when
opened, they give a duplicate of file descriptor mmm of process nnn
(if you have permission).  It seems like bash could use this to
implement the >(...) and <(...) "process substitution" mechanism, but
doesn't.
