I imagine a loop on wait until it returns because there are no unwaited-for
children. You can detect the "interrupted" exit status and behave
accordingly.
I'll probably make this posix-mode-specific behavior or add an option for
it in the next version.

No. I'm not able to put everything from the Posix spec into a man page.
