Certain challenges remain, such as the fact +that being executed in a subprocess, we operate on copies, so handling references +is not something that has been given much thought. There is also the fact +that clone()ing from threads opens a can of worms. Hence, exile_launch() +is best avoided in multi-threaded contexts. ## Status No release yet, experimental, API is unstable, builds will break on updates of this library.
