[This was the second part of my e-mail to Andrei. I've had some more time to think about it, so I've expanded my proposal.]

Would anyone mind if I move getenv(), setenv(), and unsetenv() to the std.system module? It really doesn't make sense to have them in std.process. Also, setenv() and unsetenv() should be implemented for Windows as well.

Perhaps one could, at the same time, give them names that are less C-ish? Suggestions:

 - getEnv(), setEnv(), unsetEnv()
 - getEnvironmentVar(), setEnvironmentVar(), unsetEnvironmentVar()
 - getEnvironmentVariable(), setEnvironmentVariable(),
     unsetEnvironmentVariable()

Finally, would it be useful to have a

  string[string] getEnv();

function that retrieves the entire environment and stores it in an associative array?
