I have a process that shall suspend itself using SIGTSTP or

My current plan is
import std.process: thisProcessID, kill, Pid;
import core.sys.posix.signal: SIGKILL, SIGSTOP, SIGTSTP;
const thisPid = thisProcessID;
// some call to kill()
but kill() needs a `Pid`
so
kill(thisPid, SIGTSTP);
fails and constructing Pid cannot be done because
kill(new Pid(thisPid), SIGTSTP);
errors as
Error: class std.process.Pid member this is not accessible
What to do?
in std.process, add a `kill()` overload that takes `thisPid` as
argument, it will create the `Pid` as a local scoped instance and
it will call the normal `kill()` version that takes a Pid as
argument with the scoped `Pid` instance.
propose a PR for this overloaded `kill()` and wait dmd 2.068
release.
Pid is well locked BTW: private constructor, final class...
