Sorry for hijacking this thread. Is there any feature list/preview
available besides [1]?

I would like to suggest the following improvements:

- Remove "hnsecs" [2]. Every time I read this I am under the
   impression that somebody is mocking the SI prefix system [3].
   My suggestions [4] and [5] are of 2019.

- Rename the function "deleteme". I cannot easily parse this.
   Shall I delete the occurrence of "deleteme" in the source code?
   Shall I delete a file named after the return value of the 
deleteme
   function? Has this file already been created? More questions 
than
   answers. The meaning of the tmpnam function [6] is as oppposed 
to
   deleteme glass-clear.

- Remove the function "browse" from std.process [7].
