Severity: wishlist
In `shell-command', we have the following comment:
;; Preserve the match data in case called from a program.
;; FIXME: It'd be ridiculous for an Elisp function to call
;; shell-command and assume that it won't mess the match-data!
I think we should decide to either get rid of the FIXME, or to take the
plunge and remove `save-match-data'. (Note that the latter has been
there since 1995.)
