I think at this point, I'm okay with special-casing these two uses, but
I would generally say that if we gain any more we should move it there.

There's a trade-off between the benefits of reuse here and the fact that
we're forking a process, which incurs a cost, especially on Windows.

I'm open to hearing other opinions, of course.
