you can add a specific new function for submodules, dropping the nice property of child_process that you only have to initialize a few fields and then can run the command.

Generic code and abstractions only make sense when they are _useful_. Lets not overengineer it. If we later see that we need more, then so be it. KISS.

But now lets go on and don't discuss about such details. I'm happy if I can run commands in submodules and don't care about the actual code.
