Comment (by duncan):

 I would like to propose instead that the `CreateProcess` record be
 extended with something to indicate that it is a foreground process and
 that therefore while it is running, control-c handling be delegated to
 that process. This feature request is already documented in ticket #2301.

 Then `syncProcess` will be redundant, or implemented trivially as:
 {{{
 (_,_,_,p) <- createProcess c
 waitForProcess p
 }}}
 (as it is implemented already in the Windows case). This is so simple that
 it does not need to be provided by the process library.
