If this gets added *before* the new std.process, we should at 
least agree on a consistent naming convention.  The new 
std.process has @property thisProcessID(), which replaces 
getpid(), and which is somewhat consistent with 
std.concurrency.thisTid.  I also think std.file.getcwd() is part 
of this function family, and that it should be moved to 
std.process (under a different name).

Personally, I dislike function names that start with "get".
