Actually, Manu (or anyone) could do this for *any* part of
Phobos. And considering that std.process is probably the
module that would benefit the least from it, maybe he should
start somewhere else? std.string, perhaps, or std.algorithm?
Or probably druntime. This rise again and again - until standard
global allocators are not here it is all a premature and useless
optimization. It makes no sense to try to workaround a
fundamental issue. That will be a lot of effort for no real gain.
Allocators are a blocker for almost any memory-related issue in
both druntime and phobos.
