The benefit is they're separate from async jobs and don't get in your way.
`wait' waiting for the last procsub is acceptable, `wait' waiting for a
procsub that I forgot about and that won't be listed by `jobs' is not.
Procsubs occupying one slot in the shell's internal list of job statuses is
acceptable, them filling up that list and causing data loss/oom errors is
not.
