-- | @readProcessWithExitCode@ creates an external process, reads its
--   standard output and standard error strictly, waits until the
--   process terminates, and then returns the @ExitCode@ of the
--   process, the standard output, and the standard error.
--
--   See the documentation of the version from @System.Process@ for
--   more information.
--
--   The version from @System.Process@ behaves inconsistently across
--   platforms when an executable with the given name is not found: in
--   some cases it returns an @ExitFailure@, in others it throws an
--   exception.  This variant catches \"does not exist\" exceptions and
--   turns them into @ExitFailure@s.
