Just one really minor suggestion: in the class Popen, the default values
for the arguments close_fds and universal_newlines should be False not 0.

And I vote +1 on changing the name from "popen5" to something else.
"process" (as suggested in the PEP) isn't too bad, but I'd certainly be
open to another name. If this is to replace the entire rest of the popenX
family for most normal purposes, a separate, more comprehensible name
will help newbies find it.
