Delightful.

I'm wondering what happens if you want to start two instances of hello
at once.

I suppose one solution to the UI problems would be to treat each
separate "exec" (I dunno what you want to call this -- a concept
encompassing a process, a core file, or an unstarted executable) as an
object that can be manipulated in its own right.

So, you could have "info <foo>" to list them, switch between them,
have "set args" set the arguments for the current one, "run" start one
or more of them, etc.
