no need for separate in_data parameter

I've had this locally for a while.

Not sure if I like the change anymore since it adds 1 line :(

Also, it looks like if you are not using the output, `Kernel.system` may be more efficient in memory, per the example in the [ruby-doc][].
We'd probably use backticks, but doesn't look like it has the same security precautions since `;` can go through no problem.

It is also of note, that `Kernel.system("cmd", "arg1", "arg2")` properly escapes the parameters. Not sure if we can leverage what they are calling under the covers to do the escaping for us. (which is potentially more robust)

you just couldn't resist, could you?  :smiley:
