Waiting for ALL processes in an array should be a simple matter of some  
algorithm call.

I didn't see this specific request.  I think the request was to wait for  
any process in a specific subset to complete.  And then of course, the  
"wait for any process."  Either of these is possible similar to how  
core.thread keeps track of all threads, we could simply ignore any child  
exits that we didn't manage.  And I think it's worth implementing at some  
point (this is not an easy problem to solve correctly), but not for this  
release.
