This ticket formerly existed as RT #36619. It was entered into RT by
particle on 21 Jul 2005. I am moving it to Trac at
[http://wknight8111.blogspot.com/2009/07/parrot4newbies-platforms.html the
suggestion of whiteknight on his blog], which is also available on
[http://planet.parrotcode.org/ planet.parrotcode (July 17)].
Original ticket description:
'''the return value from 'spawnw' is highly system dependent as currently
implemented. instead, 'spawnw' should return something object-like, that
wraps the platform-specific semantics.'''
