Something like https://godbolt.org/g/38C0KH maybe.
The point I'm trying to make is that a child process class ought to
be as primitive as possible. Absolutely build *layers* of additional
fancy stuff on top. But the core base class should be something
simple, easily subclassable to extend by users.
Get the basics right first, THEN add the unnecessary stuff on top.
That way you don't encumber your users with stuff they don't want nor
need.
