Oops, that is somewhat accidental. The problem is that System.Process is
in the middle of a transition to a new API, and I didn't get time to
complete the transition. The current API is a superset of the old API, but
the addition of system and rawSystem to System.Process wasn't intended to
be permanent. It's too late to fix this now, since this version of the
process package has been released into the wild, but I don't recommend
using System.Process.{system,rawSystem}.
Cheers,
Simon
