Let's just say the situation is much better than it was in the past.
Sven: I should point out that a more practical use case (and this is how
this came up originally) is launching X apps from a terminal emulator.
These usually don't fork()+exec() (nor should they).
I tend to either /want/ these to run in the foreground, or else I use
this near scriptlet: "$@" &>/dev/null & disown
