[issue18999] Robustness issues in multiprocessing.{get, set}_start_method

[Richard Oudkerk]

Richard Oudkerk added the comment:

By "context" I did not really mean a context manager.  I just meant an object (possibly a singleton or module) which implements the same interface as multiprocessing.

(However, it may be a good idea to also make it a context manager whose __enter__() method starts the helper processes, and whose __exit__() method shuts them down.)
