description: Library to drive external progams via pipes from Ruby.

Session::* offers a set of class for driving external progams via pipes.  It
offers a significant abstraction over Open3::popen since stdout/stderr can
be processed individually for each command.  Additionally the exit_status of
each command is made available.

Sessions are Thread safe (in the sense that they do not block on io
operations) allowing command spawn from guis to update widgets with output
while running in the background.
