[phobos] Suggestions for std.process

[Lars Tandle Kyllingstad]

Hehe.. std.stdio.File is actually one of the new parts of Phobos, 
introduced with DMD 2.029 less than a year ago.  (std.stream, on the 
other hand, seems to be a relic from D1. It doesn't look like it's seen 
major updates since 2005...)

Though the underlying code of std.stdio.File may be suboptimal, I have 
taken a liking to its interface.  But then again, the notion of any 
input/output stream being a 'file' may not be natural for many users.
