Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com> added the comment:

Perhaps a better idea would be to use different names, so it's clearer at the 
point of invocation that the shell is being invoked (and hence shell injection 
attacks are a potential concern). For example:

  shell_call
  check_shell_call
  check_shell_output

That would make large applications easier to audit (just search for 'shell_') 
while still making life easier for sysadmins.
