I wonder if you might want to iterate thru the attached/child

In my opinion, it would be too painful in practice for the default
case. If the user decides to not follow the default, he can still
cancel the "quit", and then use detach and kill for the processes
he wants to treat differently. Once done, he can quit.

Sounds reasonable.
