Are there plans on adding something like spawnProcessDetached

I.e. in other process group and, what is important, with no

On Posix that could be done via double fork technique. Not

could you give some use-cases and list drawbacks of that
addition?
Use case: e.g. launch application from file manager. File manager
may not care about waiting for applications to exit.
Drawbacks: why there should be one?
