upipe(input, command, show_stderr = interactive(), ...)

input %>% upipe(command)

`input`	a character string to send to the shell. Elements will be separated by newlines.
`command`	a system command to take `input` as stdin
`show_stderr`	print stderr of the command to the console as a message?
`arguments`	to specific methods.

upipe's default method coerces input to character before sending it to the system command. Other methods are specific to the data object. Currently the only implemented method is upipe.data.frame, which converts data frames to CSV format before piping them.
