There was a recent thread [1] about deepening Phobos' module
hierarchy, and it seems that most people agree this is
something that should eventually happen.
In light of this, here's a suggestion: How about we, rather
than updating the old std.process, create a new module called
std.sys.process? Or even better, IMO, std.sys.environment and
std.sys.pipe as well as std.sys.process?
Why std.sys? sys is used to group platform specific stuff in
the runtime. So I would expect to have a std.sys.linux.process
and a std.sys.posix.process etc.
I'd prefer to have an std.process package, but that is currently
not possible. I agree std.sys is a bit misleading.
Nevermind my suggenstion, then. If DIP16 gets implemented, we
can always split std.process into std.process.manage,
std.process.environment, std.process.old, etc.
