New submission from Brian Cain <brian.c...@gmail.com>:

When calling Process' join([timeout]) method, the timeout expiration case is 
indistinguishable from the successful join.  I suppose the 'exitcode' attribute 
can deliver the necessary information, but perhaps join could stand on its own.

If join() shouldn't be changed, could we make explicit reference to the 
exitcode attribute in the documentation?
