    That distinction is quite blurred in latest Emacs versions.  E.g.,
    shell-command-to-string might call a process on a remote host and
    communicate with it via open-network-stream or some such.  There are
    several interactive commands already that use this feature.

The cases where their arguments for strictness are strongest
are the noninteractive ones that don't show the text to a user
for editing.
