Thank you for your reply and for the bug report.

Looking at your suggestions I do not fully understand/agree.

executeShell has been one of the easiest ways for us to interact 
with the shell, all other functions require more work to 
implement. Being able to define the shell to be used is something 
that makes sense across all functions in std.process.

Honestly being able to set a different variable name instead of 
SHELL would make more sense. It would not take the default shell 
from the user thus using /bin/sh and would allow us to change it 
if desired with a different value. The change would be minimal 
across code and documentation.

But that's just my suggestion, I'm not a library developer. I 
understand that all variants may have their own issues, but 
taking away from the developer the power to make decisions also 
doesn't seem a good option.

Anyway I would like to ask if you can help to understand why this 
simple example using execute fails?

   auto outputDiff = execute ( ["bash","echo"] );
   writeln (outputDiff.output);

Output:
/bin/echo: /bin/echo: cannot execute binary file

At the moment some of the uses I had are not working and I'm not 
able to implement any workaround.
