A bunch of new updates to Scriptlike: A library to aid in writing 
script-like programs in D.

Home: https://github.com/Abscissa/scriptlike
Dub: http://code.dlang.org/packages/scriptlike
Full changelog:
https://github.com/Abscissa/scriptlike/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

Highlights (more info at full changelog):
- Change: Minimum officially supported DMD increased from v2.064.2 to 
v2.066.0.
- Change: API reference now built using ddox and uses much improved 
styling (actually uses a stylesheet now).
- Change: Misc changes to reduce symbol conflict issues with 
std.file/std.path.
- Change: Eliminate remnants of the "planned but never enabled" 
wstring/dstring versions of Path/Ext/Args. There turned out not to be 
much need for them.
- Enhancement: Add module scriptlike.only to import all of scriptlike, 
but omit the helper Phobos imports in scriptlike.std.
- Enhancement: fail now accepts an arbitrary list of args
- Enhancement: Added failEnforce.
- Enhancement: Added runCollect and tryRunCollect, to capture a 
command's output instead of displaying it.
- Enhancement: Added pause to pause and prompt the user to press Enter.
- Enhancement: Added Path-based wrappers for std.file's getcwd, 
thisExePath and tempDir.
- Fixed: No longer uses the deprecated std.process.system().

I've begun utilizing this in scripts I'm building, to help get 
things done faster and more consistently. I've combined it with 
dub because dub will grab the build off the web, but it also 
makes scripts a little "heavier."

I really like having the bulk of Phobos imported.

I'm very fond of the new std.process, so much better than 
powershell!!!!

You should add an overload

to

http://semitwist.com/scriptlike/scriptlike/interact/userInput.html

that takes a reference to an existing variable like this

     int x;

Something like this

     userInput(T)(string message, T x);

This removes the need for specifying the type of `x` in the call 
to `userInput` if x is already defined.

Correction, should be

     userInput(T)(string message, ref T x)
