Something that has irked me in the past about System.Process is the inability

Provision is made (although not standardised) to obtain OS specific handles
from haskell File Handles which is very useful. The same should be provided for
Haskell Process handles. The main barrier to such a facility is the variability
between OS representations of such a type (aka windows Handles, unix PID).
comments anyone.
You can get at the underlying process handle using
System.Process.Internals, but that's not a documented interface of
course. If you really need to do OS-specific stuff, I suggest using
System.Posix or System.Win32 instead.
