+;; - Currently, `system-process-attributes' returns the list of
+;;   command-line arguments of a process as one concatenated string.
+;;   This format is compatible with `shell-command'.  Also, under
+;;   MS-Windows, the command-line arguments are actually stored as a
+;;   single string, so that it is impossible to reverse-engineer it back
+;;   into separate arguments.  Alternatively, `system-process-attributes'
+;;   could (try to) return a list of strings that correspond to individual
+;;   command-line arguments.  Then one could feed such a list of
+;;   command-line arguments into `call-process' or `start-process'.
+;;   Are there real-world applications when such a feature would be useful?
+;;   What about something like `proced-restart-pid'?
