Still.. even we've been here a 1000 times.
'popen' is closed the same was as regular 'open'. They're FILE*
handles. It'd be N times harder to stab that from outside, than have

Surely the same is true of the so/DLL loading functions?
The difference is that with these functions you can load any other
non-portable function that you need (such as popen). They provide a
minimum non-portable functionallity we need to load all others.
