That's a good question, too. :) I was thinking just in terms of supporting the status quo. Maybe two functions would be useful? (as suggested also by Andrew)
I do think the question of changing Popen()'s behavior should be decided independently of this issue though. In other words, even if we change Popen() in the future, I think exposing the system default shell would still be worthwhile.
