Use #run to send multiline arguments #770

Ran into a problem when converting a Ruby script to Thor.

With Ruby's system method, you can easily pass arguments that contain line-breaks:

body = <<-BODY.strip_heredoc
  String that
  spans multiple
  lines
BODY

# This works:
system("gh", "pr", "create", "--base", "master", "--title", title, "--body", body)

# Using Thor's `run` method does not:
run("gh pr create --base master --title #{title} --body #{body}")

Is there any way to use the run method in this type of scenario?
