Comment (by rhaas):
I was not really serious about adding system(). I find it rather horrible to tell the truth :-). For this kind of thing I would think using parameter scripts (eg. perl is very well suited to these unstructuted things, being a unstructured language itself :-) ) is best. Unless you really need access to things that only exist during runtime. I currently only supports numbers in the expression parser, eg something like `whoami` or `hostname` does not work.
