inside std.process it says:
// Pids are only meant to be constructed inside this module, so we make the
constructor private.
However, this makes a number of useful functions from std.process useless
unless the processes were created via one of std.process' functions.
Can we make std.process.Pid.this(int pid) public?

Use case:
int pid=...; //parse pid from call to 'ps au' for example
std.process.kill(pid);
std.process.wait(pid);
//etc

Not a bad idea.  In fact, I think we were toying with possibly having ways to obtain Pids from the OS.  This would be an interim step.

I know this is an old post, but I need this feature! Any plan to make this happen?
