  // Run a process, interpreting the command line as whitespace-separated,
  // potentially quoted program path, arguments, and redirects. Throw
  // std::invalid_argument on the parsing error, ios::failure on the
  // underlying OS error, and process_error on the process running error.
  //
  // The process environment path is unused and must point to the empty
  // process path.
  //
  // Currently only the following stdout redirects are supported:
  //
  // >file   # Overwrite file.
  // >>file  # Append to file.
  //
  // In particular, the file descriptor cannot be specified. The file path can
  // optionally be separated from '>' by whitespaces. Note that redirects are
  // distinguished from arguments by the presence of leading '>' and prior to
  // possible substitutions (so the redirect character cannot be the result of
  // a substitution; see below).
  //
  // The relative redirect file paths are completed against the command
  // current working directory. Note that if it is altered via the process
  // environment, then the new value is used.
  //
  // The command line elements (program, arguments, etc) may optionally
  // contain substitutions - variable names enclosed with the substitution
  // symbol ('@' by default) - which are replaced with the corresponding
  // variable values to produce the actual command. Variable names must not
  // contain whitespaces and an attempt to substitute an unknown or a
  // malformed variable is an error. Double substitution character ('@@' by
  // default) is an escape sequence.
  //
  // If the variable map is absent, then '@' has no special meaning and is
  // treated as a regular character.
  //
  // The callback function, if specified, is called prior to running the
  // command process with the substituted command elements and including
  // redirects which will be in the "canonical" form (single argument without
  // space after '>'). The callback can be used, for example, for tracing the
  // resulting command line, etc.
