We retrofitted ExecutorService to implement AutoCloseable in JDK 19 and I think the effort on Process may be able to get some inspiration from [ExecutorService::close](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/25/docs/api/java.base/java/util/concurrent/ExecutorService.html#close()). The equivalent for Process could be destroy + untimed waitFor, with destroyForcibly and continue waiting if interrupted.
