I initially thought 2!:1 spawns a process and returns the process id, which
I can use with 2!:3 to wait until the process finishes.

But it turns out that 2!:1 returns an empty string.

Is there a foreign that does what I want? What purpose does 2!:3 serve when
there isn't a foreign that returns a process id?

Thanks,
Jinwoo
