I am convinced. I do understand exec* is inefficient on Windows. 
However, I remember I dealt with an application in which removal of said 
functionality would force me to essentially paste the source code from 
std.process into my program. That doesn't seem like progress.

Is there a chance to offer the functionality on Windows in a reasonable way?
