Yes, Nim works on many OSes and the colons mean tools like `nimble` can do
perfect argument forwarding. No merits of the status quo are known. ("I cannot
type colons" does not count.)
Sorry, I don't have to invent a new OS in order to improve the status quo.
Alternatively I could also argue that the Posix way of dealing with this is
underspecified and Nim adheres to it already... ;-)
