Is it expected that pipe characters will continue to work in ExecResult
even though they no longer work in ReturnsZero? ExecResult still honors
pipe characters inside double-quotes, while ReturnsZero only honors them
inside single quotes.

localdate = ( ExecResult(/bin/sh -c "/bin/date | grep 2005") )

Whereas ReturnsZero requires opposite quoting to work with pipes
properly:
ResolvesX = ( ReturnsZero(/bin/sh -c 'nslookup "some.example.com"  2>&1
| grep 169.254.1.1 >/dev/null') )

It seems inconsistent to make these two functions require opposite
quoting. Was this intended, or will there be a ShellCommandExecResult in
the future?

Thank you,
