      Even with the recent updates to the APIs for managing processes, there does not seem to be a way to create a "detached" or "background" process, that can continue when its originating process goes away.

      My understanding is that this can only be done with OS-native code, and would therefore seem to be a good candidate for inclusion in the Process{,Builder,Handler} API.
