This isn't exactly a command execution and the success condition
checks are performed manually afterwards.  The ignoring of command
execution result is intentional there and the proposed change is
likely to cause more harm than good.  Unless there are specific cases
where the new code would behave better, I'd much rather leave it as it
is.
