&lt; One word: echo_file().

echo_file() isn't always the best option.  For instance, what about parsed
html?  Config files?  Etc.

Furthermore, I would like to have system executions with execute() be able
to return their output.  Once I get a file controlling system online this
shouldn't be a problem.

(BTW, I can see the use for seek, dunno what I was thinking of before)
