This is not currently implemented, however you can still do it like this:

  run('echo yes |command')

the drawback is you're losing interactivity with "command" (e.g. if "command" 
asks any other questions on stdin, it will fail; alternatively you can use 
"yes" command if your answer to all the questions is the same (see man 
yes(1))).
