{} are used to group output from the commands into one stream. I believe the
stdout and stderr arguments to Popen allow us to get compatible behavior.

They were relocated from the commands module, resulting in slightly overlapping
functions that don’t share a naming patter: call, check_call, getoutput,
getstatusoutput.
