Processes should have exit codes that can be waited for by other processes. Tracking parent/child processes is not needed; it won't be a problem for any process to wait for any other process by PID (like is currently possible), but get the exit code.
The shell should eventually be as POSIX-like as possible, so POSIX-style numeric exit codes are needed. However, for extra flexibility, being able to also use strings would be helpful (e.g. (0, "success") or (1, "configuration file syntax error")).
