It says that os.popen2 uses a more intuitive order and especially for
popen3 this is true. Compare
popen2.popen3 -> (child_stdout, child_stdin, child_stderr)
os.popen3 -> (child_stdin, child_stdout, child_stderr)
Besides in the os.popen* case the index in the result tuple reflexes
the unix file handle better.
