This should always be the preferred path. To what degree things can be uninitialized is to be seen I guess. We've had issues with graphics drivers and atexit handlers before.

This can get tricky. Ideally WebProcess would only be closed when the UIProcess signals it to do so. Sending SIGINT or SIGTERM directly at a WebProcess or NetworkProcess should also kill it.

But Ctrl-C is a bit special since it's super useful for development purposes, yet can't be worked around easily since it sends out SIGINT to all the processes in the process group, and AFAIU if we don't handle SIGINT in the WebProcess, SIGINT will kill that WebProcess before the UIProcess can shut it down when it handles its own SIGINT.
