+Execute a process, optionally capturing stdio.

+Executes the process specified by the given argv vector, e.g.
+`{ "/bin/sh", "-c", "echo 1" }` and waits for it to terminate unless a true
+value has been passed for the "nowait" parameter.
+
+When a function value is passed for the stdout or stderr arguments, the passed
+function is repeatedly called for each chunk read from the corresponding stdio
+stream. The read data is passed as string containing at most 4096 bytes at a
+time.
+
+When a true, non-function value is passed for the stdout or stderr arguments,
+the data of the corresponding stdio stream is read into an internal string
+buffer and returned as "stdout" or "stderr" field respectively in the result
+table.
+
+When a true value is passed to the nowait parameter, the function does not
+await process termination but returns as soon as all captured stdio streams
+have been closed or - if no streams are captured - immediately after launching
+the process.
