yeah kindof-correct, the backtick operator would then behave identically to
giving shell_exec() only 1 argument, or null as the 2nd argument
(btw i'm the guy that made the linked bugs.php.net feature request)

while we're on the topic of shell_exec(), does anyone happen to know why
shell_exec() pipes in *text mode*/binary-corruption-mode on windows?
