Description:	The `tcl::process status` manpage (and TIP 462) state - If pids is specified as a list of PIDs then the command only returns the status of the matching subprocesses if they exist, and raises an error otherwise. In the implementation, no error is raised, the pids that are not subprocesses are simply ignored (which I think is actually the preferable behavior). Either way, docs/TIP and implementation should be made consistent. Same issue with `tcl::process purge`.
