Therefore, I would like to suggest a compromise: I propose we
move the functions into an std.posix.process module. (There is
currently no std.posix package, but we do have std.windows, so
I don't see why we can't add it.)
I think, a more appropriate name is std.native
(std.native.process etc). This package would strive to be
platform-specific for the sake of efficiency rather than
cross-platform. If someone doesn't need to be cross-platform, he
needs an efficient interface to the native efficient capabilities
of the current platform. That said, the content of std.native
modules will be platform-specific and will provide comprehensive
D-ified API for the platform features.
