"New?" The child_process module has been there for quite some time.

Node's built-in modules with multi-word names use underscores for
reasons of implementation details. (They're converted to C-variable
names, so - is not valid, but _ is.)

The convention in node userland is to use "-" to separate words in
filenames, and thus in module names.
