I don't think the option should be about the implementation detail.
If ought to be POSIX_SPAWN_NO_ATFORK, meaning that atfork handlers do not get run.
In practice, that means calling vfork instead of fork. But the name and meaning
of the switch should be about the application experience, not the system's
implementation.
