+You're right. The 2 extra fork(2):s(*) here doesn't matter...

+(*) FYI: It is only bash(1) which forks process to execute the external
+command in such a trivial cases. Most (if not all) other shells have
+(conservative) heuristics to avoid the "extra" fork there. If you're
+interested, my simple way to test this is 'strace -ff -o pidc cmd args...'
