I think it would be helpful to see a few worked examples that show how
system_noshell() and its variants make things simpler than using
posix_spawn().

    ...

    system_noshell("/bin/rm /tmp/tmpfile") is simpler than
    posix_spawn(pid, "rm", NULL, NULL, argv, NULL) which also includes
    populating an argv vector.

The example given above is a start, but I'd like to see something more
realistic.
