For POSIX, seems like you could pass `File("/dev/null", "r")` for stdin
and `File("/dev/null", "w")`. On Windows I believe you can use `File
("nul")` for the same effect.
Implementing this myself is of course always an option, yes, but I would
have liked to avoid platform-dependent code.
Hm, I just checked the source, and there doesn't seem to be a better
option indeed…
I think a mechanism to open a null stream in an OS independent way would
be a good addition to std.stdio (or perhaps std.process?)
