I admit, this is not a great idea...  But it is a work around...

What about a small change to MacOs.WMAvailable ()?

For example...

def	MacOs.WMAvailable ( cache = True):
	if not cache:
		<<Call GetcurrentProcess...etc>>
	else:
		<<Normal routine>>

In other words, it's behavior would be the same, except we could override
the
cache...

At least, it would work until there was a chance to get the process manager
exported...

And later, when the process manager has been finished, you could add a
depreciated
warning on the false cache call...  Or redirect it to the proper process
manager call.
