My guess is they cause trouble if the spawned process wants to use
them.  I should back that claim, maybe later today/tomorrow.

I don't know either, I'd only know for Unix.

Sure, I'm trying to improve upon it, that's all.

Now that you've made <exec> throw exceptions if the user combines
output with spawn (and it will be documented that way), we won't have
the user expect something wrong.  Now the user knows that she has to
tale care of the standard streams.

Certainly not, but you may want them to go to a file to review that
later or send them to /dev/null if you can't suppress output.
