I would prefer a vsystem() function (vim system) or whatever
you want to call it so that for example you could do
^R=vsystem("swapname")

Why not try your hand at writing a function to do that? Admittedly, it
would have to begin with a capital letter.
It is not possible: Vsystem("redir @a> | echom 'abc' | redir END") won't work.
If one were writing a function as Chip suggested, one would put the
redir commands in the body of the function, not in the argument.
As a further hint -- the Dredir command in the Decho.vim debugging
package already does something similar.
