Subject: Should subshells terminate?
Date: Thursday, 10 Dec 2020, 04:12:33

In spec, it says "child processes (other than subshells) ... can be killed by a CTRL-C."

Is there a reason subshells shouldn't be killed by CTRL-C? I thought everything should be killed except for the main shell. If a subcommand is running in a subshell, shouldn't CTRL-C kill all of it?
