[Python-Dev] Small subprocess patch

I'm planning to change the signature for subprocess.call slightly:

-def call(*args, **kwargs):
+def call(*popenargs, **kwargs):

The purpose is to make it clearer that "args" in this context is not the
same as the "args" argument to the Popen constructor. Two questions:

1) Is it OK to commit changes like this on the 2.4 branch, in addition to
trunk?

2) Anyone that thinks that "kwargs" should be changed into "popenkwargs"?
