For Linux, I think you could just use getpass() from
core.sys.posix.unistd. Not sure what the Windows equivalent
is. An agnostic, user-facing version isn't a terrible idea.
Or arguably better, a good way to disable echo on stdin; maybe
file a bug about this against std.stdio?

Here's example `getpass` (in C++, but can be translated
trivially) for Windows, using `SetConsoleMode` with turning off
`ENABLE_ECHO_OUTPUT`.
