+/// Take note that there is no implementation of
+/// [`Drop`](../../core/ops/trait.Drop.html) for child processes, so if you
+/// do not ensure the `Child` has exited then it will continue to run, even
+/// after the `Child` handle to the child process has gone out of scope.
+///
+/// Calling `wait` (or other functions that wrap around it) will make the
+/// parent process wait until the child has actually exited before continuing.
