Description
ProcessHandle is specified as an interface but currently does not specify an equals method or
if its implementations are value-based.
The instances returned from the static factory methods are immutable and lightweight and should be specified as being value based to allow possible updates to the implementation when value types are available.

The standard 'value-based' spec should be included.
