I like this one the best, since it consumes fewest resources in the default case.
[ ] Retain "|foo" to invoke foo through sh, and
add "||foo" syntax to directly launch foo
These were the best solutions I could come up with, others are
welcome.
However, the indirection through the shell is now the default case and has been for quite a while... I figure dropping it now might violate the principle of least astonishment.
I prefer the first one, but given the circumstances see myself tending towards the second alternative.
