Good point. How about something like this?
"The Windows port so far used process handles as PID. However, this is
not consistent with what getpid returns.
PIDs are system-global identifiers, but process handles are local to a
process. Using PIDs instead of process handles allows for instance a
user to kill a hung process with the Task Manager, something that
would have been impossible with process handles."
