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?
