In principle, there's nothing stopping you from launching a dummy process just for the purpose of testing the debug API. I noticed that this is what linux `strace` does when it tries to determine the host kernel capabilities. Windows makes this slightly trickier as you can't just call `fork` -- you need an actual executable -- but the same principle holds. (I'm not saying we need to do this here, I'm just throwing the idea out there.)
