By orthogonal, I meant these things should ideally be managed by separate

1. ignoring signals (or not)
2. redirecting filedescriptors
3. immediately waiting on the process (or not)
4. creating new process groups
5. sending a signal to about-to-be orphaned children when the shell exits
In particular I'm thinking of options along the lines of:
nohup --no-redir --[block/default/keep]=[INT,QUIT,HUP,...]
(exact names not important; hopefully --long-options are self-explanatory)
I feel like this will turn into something like daemon(1), but if someone
wants to take a shot -- using a new name, obviously -- let's talk about it.
