[Haskell-cafe] cradle: a simpler process library

[Julian Arni]

Yeah, maybe it would have been nicer to do it that way.

Re: shake's cmd. Yes, that's exactly the inspiration. We removed the
polymorphism and varags aspect of the *arguments* (but kept it for the
*outputs*) because it felt like it complicated signatures, type inference,
and documentation for no real gain. But at the start "cradle" was almost
just a pure separation of shake's cmd into a new package.
