Oh yea. *Now* I remember asking the same thing before and getting pretty 
much the same answer...

I didn't mean to sound like I'm nagging anyone about it. It's not urgent for 
me right now. It's just that whenever I get to thinking about the idea of 
heavy cmdline-scripting style stuff in D, it occurs to me that the 
std.process imporovements would be a big help, and then I manage to 
completely forget everything about it except a vague recollection that there 
was some sort of std.process stuff on the horizon ;)
