I typically find /bin/sh features to be enough for implementing most

I have no idea. I need to be able use the following commands/functions:
export, source, builtin hash, rm, echo, exit, exec
Can't all (or most) of that be done in straight D?
It all comes done to one thing, the "source" function. If you launch an
application in a shell that application can't set environment variables
that will be available to the shell when the application exits.
So instead I have most of the application written in D with a bash
function that wraps the application. It works like this:
1. The function calls the D application
2. The D application performs all it needs to and writes a shell script
to a file
3. The bash function calls "source" with this file as a parameter
