This does not apply for Windows, so it should state that.
It does apply to Windows. It just isn't necessary to do it
within std.process, as Windows' own CreateProcess() takes care of
it.
It is a bit imprecise, though, because CreateProcess() does in
fact search a lot of other directories first (current working
dir, parent process dir, system32, etc.). In fact, PATH is last
on that list. ;) I'll clarify this in the documentation.
