New submission from WGH:

The problem with FastChildWatcher lies in the fact that it can accidentally 
reap processes that it doesn't watch.

However, os module includes waitid function (since Python 3.3), and it has 
WNOWAIT flags, which means "return status, let process remain waitable (=don't 
reap)".

What do you think, can this feature fix the problem with FastChildWatcher?
