Moving more of SPM to corelibs-foundation:
https://github.com/apple/swift-package-manager/pull/964

That PR moves old SwiftPM code to the new Process class. It's not the Process class from corelibs foundation (because it doesn't fit SwiftPM's requirement).

[BasThomas]

Not sure if this is interesting to discuss. It raises some interesting aspects of Swift becoming a very broad-language:

But in doing so we might -inadvertently- make Swift into a behemoth that can do everything ... if you know how!

In my opinion Swift is on course to become a very complex language where one needs guru status to be a mid level programmer. Beginning programmers will stand no chance whatsoever to maintain an app developed by an expert.

[jessesquires]

thanks for clarifying @aciidb0mb3r !
