1, What about support for nonblocking wait(). It would be very
nice not to block the main thread if you really don't care about
waiting for the sub process but just want to be nice and not
create zombies.
2, What about nonblocking read/writes or support for timing out
reads/writes at least. On linux you can select() on the file
descriptor but that is not supported on windows.
I believe that support for nonblocking operation is important
since spawning external processes is a common way to parallelize
work and std.concurrency could take advantage of this as well.
