If @code{default-directory} is magic, the function invokes its file

This function is like @code{start-process}, except that it uses a shell
to execute the specified command. The argument @var{command} is a shell
command name. The variable @code{shell-file-name} specifies which shell to
use.
The point of running a program through the shell, rather than directly
with @code{start-process}, is so that you can employ shell features such
as wildcards in the arguments. It follows that if you include an
arbitrary user-specified arguments in the command, you should quote it
as wildcards in the arguments. It follows that if you include any
arbitrary user-specified arguments in the command, you should quote them
with @code{shell-quote-argument} first, so that any special shell
characters do @emph{not} have their special shell meanings. @xref{Shell
Arguments}.
