Might there be a better name for this op? I know backtick isn't just Perl-ish; it's used in UNIX shells too. But for someone from a non-UNIX, non-Perl background, backtick may not mean a lot. That said, I'm not sure I can think of a metter name.
Yeah, good point. pipeopen maybe? (Though then that gets confused with regular pipes) childproc? If it weren't so darned fundamental to the languages we care about I'd just throw the thing into the standard library and punt on it entirely...
Hi,
in 'GNU m4' this is called 'esyscmd'. But I doubt that this is more inuitive than 'pipeopen' or 'backtick'.
