[Bug #19868] Suggest other Process::Status method for & and >>
Process::Status#& and Process::Status#>> are provided only for
the backward compatibility with older Ruby than 1.8 where $? was
a Fixnum, and the knowledge about internals of system dependent
macros is necessary to use them. Modern programs and libraries
should not need these methods.
