IMO using 2!:0 is also interested in its result returned in stdout.
neither fork or spawn is a very good name for such purpose. Instead
the original name 'host' is more neutral between result and side
effect. 'shell' is also acceptable as '2!:0 cmd' is actually run by
jconsole as 'sh -c cmd >/tmp/somefile'

fork or spawn are synonyms although window does not use the term fork,
therefore I favour the original name for 2!:0 and 2!:1 in DOJ.
