You are absolutely correct.
There was no output, it was captured, as executeShell is used for 
capturing command output.

auto commandOutput = executeShell("pause");
writeln("Here is the output: ", commandOutput);
// Here is the output:  Tuple!(int, "status", string, 
"output")(0, "Press any key to continue . . . \r\n")
