Description

CLIs often need utils for forking or exec.

We might reexport execa async utils (with dynamic import for CJS compact)

For on/off execa is perfect. Still not sure about forking. Execa supports execaNode too that supports IPC channel. However I'm not sure if gives enough flexibility for things like dev server (#7) or not. Still worth to try.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by reviewing the CLI process needs described here and execa's async utilities, including execaNode and IPC support, then compare them with the dev-server requirements in issue #7. Done should be a clearly scoped process-utils proposal with confirmed support for the required use cases.
