osprocess does this. Whether it is a "nice wrapper" is arguable.
IIRC osprocess does what process does, just gives you more
control--but both are multi-step processes.
Using the 'collect?:' option it can be a "one-step' process.
I was thinking a wrapper
along the lines of the with-* procedures. Or modifying
open-input-pipe to call ##sys#process instead of popen() when there's
a list involved. It's useful enough in Perl that there's a special
syntax for this, and I have used it heavily. If I ever need it in
Chicken I'll make an egg.
Probably cleaner.
