Implementation-wise, it is a simple task to add this 
functionality to both pipeProcess/pipeShell and 
execute/executeShell.  It comes at the cost of more complex 
function signatures for high-level functions which have, so far, 
intentionally been kept rather simple:

ProcessPipes pipeProcess(
     string[] args,
     Redirect redirectFlags = Redirect.all,
     string[string] env = null,
     Config config = Config.none);

Tuple execute(
     string[] args,
     string[string] env = null,
     Config config = Config.none);

But maybe that's not so bad?
