If your shell crashes, same problem. And the shell is a bigger program. This issue seems pretty orthogonal. Again, I was never saying this is a better way to design a shell for everyday use, unless maybe with a lot of complementary design decisions changed to go with it.

Why couldn't you spawn jobs like `& do-the-job` in this style? Admittedly I don't remember much about Unix job handling.
