I vote for conditional acceptance, provided the following conditions are
met:
1. The interface style must be redesigned such that:
a. There is a clear separation between arguments and attributes.
b. Arguments and attributes should not be arbitrarily interspersed
in the parameter list.
c. A set of attributes can be build in advance, and reused for
different child processes.
d. Attributes can be optionally to the attribute-set.
2. There should be no I/O deadlocks by default.
3. An Overview section that introduces the concepts and the various
parts of the library must be added to the documentation.
