Closer, but it's hard to match backticks and implicit interpolation
for convenience (neither of which is going to happen in Python).

However, the trade-off is that you get things like the ability to
create pre-defined commands and easier invocation of shlex.quote when
appropriate, along with exceptions for some errors that would
otherwise pass silently.

Cheers,
Nick.
