Wait for all processes:
This would certainly be convenient, and it is simple to implement. It
would require a static __gshared Pid[int] of all processes created by
spawnProcess(), and we'd simply call wait() on all of those.
Waiting for ALL processes in an array should be a simple matter of some
algorithm call.
I didn't see this specific request. I think the request was to wait for
any process in a specific subset to complete. And then of course, the
"wait for any process." Either of these is possible similar to how
core.thread keeps track of all threads, we could simply ignore any child
exits that we didn't manage. And I think it's worth implementing at some
point (this is not an easy problem to solve correctly), but not for this
release.
