Hi folks,

I find process-lines super convenient for glueing command line 
utilities.

Often wished I had a similar function that neither split into 
lines (process-lines) nor relied on shell 
(shell-command-to-string).

Proposing process-output as a close cousin to process-lines.

Happy to drop process-lines in favour of an existing function I 
may have missed.
