Subject: Re: Question about start-process and argument list

Now I think that reason why one program accepts separate arguments for
query, and other needs single argument, is the program
design. 

Programmer decided to accept any follow up arguments, that is why you
can split it and feed it.

While in other program only single argument is accepted.

That is why it is not good generalizing function for different
programs.

It is maybe better to generalize one function, but have it branch to
different other functions for different programs.
