Agreed, and there's also the question of passing switches etc to the
program, so the string can't be a bare file name anyway. I proposed
pipe symbols (|) in the string previously, but if you find that too
Unix-centric I suppose we could do
COPY TABLE FROM PROGRAM 'command line';
COPY TABLE TO PROGRAM 'command line';
