Yeah, I don't want to get into this discussion again.  There are better  
ways (at least IMO :), but they were not favored.

Once std.process2 is accepted, and in use for a long time, we can probably  
deprecate std.process.  But I don't know if std.process2 would then be  
renamed.  I can't remember what was decided.
