I think the idea of using file: IRIs for the 'cwd' option has a lot to
recommend it, but I'm not sure the same can be said for the 'command'
option.  Most (all?) modern operating systems support a notion of
search path for executables, but using URIs/IRIs for the 'command'
option would _either_ mean that the search path could never be
appealed to, _or_ would require some special syntax to avoid
resolution against the operative base URI. . .
