No problem. Indeed that could be the subject of a future TIP, adding new, lower-level subcommands to the [tcl::process] ensemble for direct process creation/handling (including those not created by Tcl itself). But it is a much broader scope than the initial concern addressed by TIP #462 (see the original Tcl Bounty description).
