Description

This could be used so that only some prosesses kill others when exiting. Example: closing an UI window kills a server, but the server exiting doesn't kill the UI in case the server can be restarted. This could use the same syntax as the --prefix-colors.

Research direction

Start by tracing the --kill-others option and comparing its parsing with the --prefix-colors syntax. Confirm how process exit relationships are represented, then verify that a comma-separated list supports selective termination while preserving existing behavior.
