Description
Is anyone actively working on this? I added just-enough-for-my-use-case API in my own project here: https://github.com/GeorgeLyon/Shwift/blob/main/Sources/Shell/Support/Posix%20Spawn.swift but I'd be happy to flesh it out and contribute.
Maybe this should wait on https://github.com/apple/swift-system/pull/20, but I can also probably just add the `ProcessID` type the same way it is proposed in that PR.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading the proposed implementation in Sources/Shell/Support/Posix Spawn.swift and the referenced swift-system pull request #20. Determine whether the POSIX Spawn APIs should wait for that ProcessID work or be implemented independently. Done means an agreed API scope and a contributed implementation, but this issue does not specify the required API surface or tests.
