Having pushd/popd in std.process would make a lot of code look

often you have to change the workding directory only for a few

with pushd/popd you don't have to temporarily store the old

pushd/popd: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pushd_and_popd
What do you think?
void build() {
pushd("../build")
scope(exit) popd();
shell("cmake ../src/c/bla");
shell("make");
}
I think it's a good idea, except instead of maintaing a
separate stack it could use the call stack through RAII. Also,
considering `getcwd` and `chdir` are in std.file, maybe that's
the better location?

Apropos threads; this isn't thread-safe at all, is it... does it
make sense to define semantics with multi-threading in mind?
