in std.process, add a `kill()` overload that takes `thisPid` as 
argument, it will create the `Pid` as a local scoped instance and 
it will call the normal `kill()` version that takes a Pid as 
argument with the scoped `Pid` instance.
propose a PR for this overloaded `kill()` and wait dmd 2.068 
release.

Pid is well locked BTW: private constructor, final class...
