So there are two things missing from this that we have in the
comparable Markup pipeline:

 1) A 'cwd' option, which gives the working directory in which to run
    the subprocess;

 2) The ability to take a sequence as input -- the contents are
    serialised onto stdin in order.

I think (1) is important, I can live w/o (2).

I think we should _either_ make the thing symmetric (i.e. assume the
input is already in escaped-document form) _or_ include the
serialization options. . .
