[Swift-devel] New built-in system, request for comments

[Ketan Maheshwari]

One difference between app and non-app functions like system() is that the
non-app functions will always run on local host whereas the app functions
will almost always run on remote and/or compute nodes. It should thus be
easier to handle exit conditions for system().
