+Add `std.process.Config.preExecDelegate`
+
+$(LINK2 $(ROOT_DIR)phobos/std_process.html#.Config.preExecDelegate, `std.process.Config.preExecDelegate`)
+is just like
+$(LINK2 $(ROOT_DIR)phobos/std_process.html#.Config.preExecFunction, `std.process.Config.preExecFunction`),
+but can capture an environment, for example:
+
+-------
+import core.sys.linux.sys.prctl : PR_SET_PDEATHSIG, prctl;
+import std.process : Config, execute;
+
+void runProgram(int pdeathsig)
+{
+    execute(
+        ["program"],
+        config: Config(
+            preExecDelegate: () @trusted =>
+                prctl(PR_SET_PDEATHSIG, pdeathsig, 0, 0, 0) != -1,
+        ),
+    );
+}
+-------
+
+`preExecFunction` is retained for backwards compatibility. If both
+`preExecFunction` and `preExecDelegate` are given, both are called.
