For his personal use you think there's any problem just using
`std.process`?
I mean:
```d
rdmd --eval='import std.process; auto dmd = execute(["convert",
`Screenshot from 2021-09-12 18-14-22.png` , `hello.pdf`]);'
```
I don't see why go beyond that if it's guaranteed that the user
has `convert` on their machine
