I only partially followed the discussion. I think the starting point of
this was that the library needs a way to kill a child for example to
prevent a deadlock when a pipe breaks, etc. What would in this case be
the default behaviour on linux? I would think that a solution would be
perfectly fine if it behaved as expected on each operating system, even
if the behaviour is different for the different operating systems.
