Process trees and termination

[Paul Benedict]

I have a question on the way this is modeled. By introducing a superclass,
Process becomes a type of ProcessHandle. That doesn't seem right to me. I
expect a Process to have a handle (not be one). Also I think these
operations may make more sense as an interface.


Cheers,
Paul
