The docs for runProcess says:

        Any Handles passed to runProcess are placed immediately in the
        closed state.

but the equivalent seems to be missing from the documentation for
createProcess.

I'm not exactly sure what the justification is. I thought at first it
might be for the H98 many readers or single writer rule, but it's not
obvious how that applies here.
