Description

We have a non-trivial codebase that was recently built on boost::process::child.
We've come to realise that it works fine on Linux, but will not support running a program with a unicode path on Windows.
Migrating to V2 does work, but the migration is non-trivial, unfortunately.

If this limitation could be clearer in the documentation I think it would be useful to maintainers downstream.
