Are there plans on adding something like spawnProcessDetached that would

On Posix that could be done via double fork technique. Not sure about
Windows.
Double fork on Posix is, usually, used for something slightly different.
In particular, since you bring up the process group, I think you mean
daemonization.
Daemonization, however, does a bit more than create a new process group
and double forking.

discussion and some code regarding this issue.
