But the "system" library call is standardized by ISO C99.
The proposed module implements the POSIX specification for "system",
which contains more requirements than the ISO C99 standard.
Applications that need only the C99-required semantics
shouldn't need to include the module, so it may make sense
to call the module "system-posix" rather than "system".

(Again, this is a relatively minor quibble.)
