Sadly, no I don't. I had hoped [] would allocate an empty AA,
but it fails to compile.
Note that you can "hack" it by setting a single environment
variable which nobody will ever use.
i.e. spawnProcess("blah.exe", ["_____":"_____"]);
But that is really, really ugly.
How about this:
@property string[string] emptyEnvironment()
{
string[string] result;
result["a"] = "a";
result.remove("a");
assert(result && result.length == 0);
return result;
}
(can be cached to avoid allocating each time)
