An interesting idea, but someone would have to implement it, which could delay adding the new std.process to Phobos. Of course, if we take approach of putting new modules in a different place initially as we've occasionally discussed (e.g. experimental.process or future.process) in order to make sure that they're fully ironed out from actual, widespread, real-world use before freezing their APIs, then that would give us more time to implement such a feature before moving the module to std.process. - Jonathan M Davis
