What's this?

`(command) public

Makes backticks behave (somewhat more) similarly on all platforms. On win32 `nonexistent_command` raises Errno::ENOENT; on Unix, the spawned shell prints a message to stderr and sets $?. We emulate Unix on the former but not the latter.

  def `(command) #:nodoc:
    super
  rescue Errno::ENOENT => e
    STDERR.puts "#$0: #{e}"
  end
