Currently we already have a ProcessFactory that allows the creation of alternative IProcess for a launch, but something similar for creation of the native process is currently not possible. This adds a new extension point to supply an ExecFactory to allow controlling the creation of native processes. The use case for this might be to launch inside a terminal session, but also using a chroot environment or containerization would be possible.
