It's generally a far cleaner separation to separate the OSes
via the module
system, which is what druntime does for posix and windows.
posix and windows each end up as a soup of OS-specific feature
sets too, and you still have to worry about which functions work
on which OS. Is it a clear enough separation? And posix doesn't
mean native, it means portable: windows implements it to some
extent, so one might want to add windows support to posix modules
or implement missing posix functions from scratch.
