It seems that if you want a shell popper, most of the time you also get
a screen blanker, and possibly more.

It's certainly not the "Unix philosophy" that every program should do just
one thing, do it very well, and cooperate with every other program.

(I do expect a shell popper to allow me to indicate what shell it is supposed
to pop.)
