I really appreciate the enthusiasm here, but at the risk of being
cynical, I see little chance that this gets accepted. Before you spend
any time on actual code, a DIP is going to be required, as this would
be a huge change to the language. I'm sure you have a lot of time, but
I don't want you to waste it on something that is likely to be rejected.
If you still want to proceed, even at the risk of doing a lot of work
for nothing (or at least, a lot of work that ends up being just on
code.dlang.org instead of Phobos)
Just out of curiosity, what would be the advantage of having something
like this in Phobos rather than as a separate package?
It means that all of Phobos can take advantage of the better performance
and other benefits.
For instance, std.process uses File (and therefore FILE *) as it's
streams for the pipes to the child process. This has huge limitations.
