Questions about windows support

[Adam D. Ruppe]

Thinking about globbing, I think rm * is a mistake
anyway...

The way I'd do programs is something like this:

echo input > program_name options....

So, you wouldn't rm *. You'd ls | rm.

You'd implement rm like this:
void main() {
      foreach(file; stdin.byLine)
          std.file.remove(file);
}


This way, options and things to operate on
are nicely separated, and you can process
the input with more filters easily.

glob * | grep 'poo' | rm

and etc.


Windows Powershell actually kinda works this way,
from what I know of it. You can do

ps | kill

and it works.



I almost *almost* want to write my own custom userland.
But, while I can complain all day about what we have...
meh it works well enough that I'm in no rush to spend
a lot of time replacing it.
