I want to get System.{in,out,err} to allow the SWTException and SWTError tests to be fully implemented. In particular, this would allow the .printStackTrace to use System.err_. I think it would also just be fun to have the streams working in general 😄

By default, each of the PrintStreams are File{Input,Output}Stream which use a FileDescriptor (ref).

Down the line this will allow FileOutputStream.this(FileDescriptor) to
work for STDIN, STDOUT, and STDERR

System.out and co. outline: https://stackoverflow.com/a/14435324
'const' from fFD and fHandle were removed to allow 'setting' in the
future.
Was used when in_, out_, and err were immutable but isn't required now.

Is this ported from the Java source code or is a reimplementation?

Should these be const as well? Otherwise they cannot be on the constants below.

version (Posix) {
return fFD >= 0;
} else version (Windows) {
return (fFD >= 0) && (fHandle !is null);

Is fFD ever used on Windows?

* Usually, this file descriptor is not used directly, but rather via the
* output stream known as `System.in`.

I don't know if there are other static variables which are objects in the code base, but these are thread local storage, do we want that?
