user_group.cr's Issues

Missing getuid and setresuid

Will you accept a PR to add the following:

• Process.setresuid
• Process.setresuid
• Process.user_id
• Process.group_id
• Process.effective_user_id
• Process.effecive_group_id

Basically this with the names conforming to your project.

I got tired of fighting for crystal user/group PR acceptance and would prefer to not maintain my own shard.
