Hi Paul,
couldn't one just skip the whole "what's a shell metacharacter these

I suppose the overhead of kicking off sh is trying to be avoided for the
simple case. (Where the user knows route #3 is being taken then they
could do an exec but that's a bit icky.)
sure. but it's 2013. processes aren't the ogres they used to be.
