    Description

      We should support `cmd` to be syntax sugar for this...

      "cmd".execute()

      which returns an instance of java.lang.Process. In addition if this expression is used within a String it should make a GString which extracts the output of the command in the middle of the string.

      e.g.

      println "blah `command` blah"

      it should behave like

      println "blah ${`command`.text} blah"
