[erlang-questions] gproc and synchronous start of registred processes

[Magnus Klaar]

You can't, not without fetching a list of all child processes. A supervisor
ensures that only one child per Id, is started. Also registering the child
in gproc under the same Id makes sure you to look up the pid once the child
has been started. the two mechanisms complement each other.
