In Perl 5 backticks actually call the "readpipe" function, which is
even documented, will wonders never cease.

That's always the question: opcode or not.

Yes. But C needs another variant that takes an argv array.

It seems like an example of opcode bloat to me.

Might there be a better name for this op? I know backtick isn't just

I've now integrated that into the C opcode:
.local pmc pipe
pipe = open "/bin/cat -n", "|-"
# or
pipe = open "/bin/ls -l", "-|"
There is still no good way to pass
PIO_unix_pipe() is the eqivalent to perl5's pp_backtick(), i.e. run a
program and capture the program's output (or send something to the
program). I've hacked together a PIR script with some NCI code to use
this function - works fine - but the interface of PIO_unix_pipe() is a
bit clumsy to use
