We might be able to remove std.process eventually and then rename std.process2 
to std.process (leaving std.process2.d to import std.process), but Walter (and 
to some extent Andrei) seems to be very much in favor of leaving stuff around 
permanently. It's likely that std.process will be deprecated (which now 
defaults to warning about it rather than giving an error) and eventually 
undocumented, but actually killing it off may take a bit of doing given 
Walter's attitude about code breakage. He seems to be perfectly fine with 
leaving around old, dead code on the off-chance that some older code is using 
it and would break if it were removed.
