Oh yea. *Now* I remember asking the same thing before and getting pretty much the same answer... I didn't mean to sound like I'm nagging anyone about it. It's not urgent for me right now. It's just that whenever I get to thinking about the idea of heavy cmdline-scripting style stuff in D, it occurs to me that the std.process imporovements would be a big help, and then I manage to completely forget everything about it except a vague recollection that there was some sort of std.process stuff on the horizon ;)
