Just sharing a passing thought so I don't forget it before I have time
to think more deeply on it.

Several parts of Pharo (like SHTextStyler) are designed to have a
background process running, and when new input arrives that process is
killed so another can be immediately started - and sometimes we seem
to end up with large amounts of zombie processes.

As I poke around Process>>terminate, I wonder if a different approach
would be to have a Process>>restart.�� I see there is Context>>restart.

The starting the background process might look like...

�� �� stylingProcess := [ [ "do stuff with nextData". self suspend ]
repeat ] forkAt: 30.

and the code in the main morphic priority 40 thread might look like...

�� ��sylingProcess suspend.
�� ��nextData := 'blah'.
�� ��sylingProcess restart.

anyway, back to the grind for me,
