That's a good question, too. :)  I was thinking just in terms of supporting the 
status quo.  Maybe two functions would be useful? (as suggested also by Andrew)

I do think the question of changing Popen()'s behavior should be decided 
independently of this issue though.  In other words, even if we change Popen() 
in the future, I think exposing the system default shell would still be 
worthwhile.
