Created a pull request for it:

If this gets added *before* the new std.process, we should at
least agree on a consistent naming convention. The new
std.process has @property thisProcessID(), which replaces
getpid(), and which is somewhat consistent with
std.concurrency.thisTid. I also think std.file.getcwd() is part
of this function family, and that it should be moved to
std.process (under a different name).
Personally, I dislike function names that start with "get".
