That's exactly my point here.  I've already cleaned up the part where
the shell programs are written in jobs mode, and I wrote a single unit
test to demonstrate that the job markers "--- job-a ---" do not always
appear at the beginning of a line.  Other than that, it's not as simple
as waiting for a single child process, as there are the multiple
communication pipes, plus updating of the jobs table and probably a few
more subtleties.  That's why I consider myself still unfamiliar with
that part.
