Actually, Ned's ProcessBrowser does a good job of this right now.
Try playing around with it, you will be surprised at how easy
it is to pause and restart a background process, inspect it,
and interrupt it in a debugger.
Note also <http://bugs.impara.de/view.php?id=1578>, which makes
MVC and Morphic work the same way for background processes that
update the UI (it also has a small ProcessBrowser fix).
