-- Quick review summary --

During the review multiple technical issues were raised and as far as
I know, Klemens already working on them. The biggest win of the review
- is a fix for possible deadlock with pipes.

The most controversial part of the library is it's interface. Many
comments were addressing:
* passing arguments
* starting process right in `system(...)` function

Current approaches have benefits and drawbacks, other approaches have
different benefits and drawbacks. At this point some people agree that
the current approach is the lesser evil.

Reviewers also wished to have better/richer documentation.

P.S.: Please continue with the discussion and report issues that would
help to improve the library.
