I have released a minor improvement to std.io [1], which adds
support for opening the standard handles (stdin, stdout,
stderr) [2].
In order to make this work, I also had to add a feature to IOs
that allows you to temporarily use a file descriptor/handle [3].
As of now, it hasn't updated on code.dlang.org, but it should
be soon.
With this, I'm going to focus next on making an iopipe/io layer
that can replace write[f]ln and friends.

very cool, will this replace std.stdio? Will there be an API
similar to the old one for upgrading?
I know on Windows low level Console output is very different from
File output, is a console API in scope for std.io or would that
rather be a new module? It could also handle code page setup and
console mode and stuff there.
