Description

Just happened upon this and I figured it might be neat if this package wrapped/abstracted it. This is made by Microsoft, so it's a pretty decent option for a solid reference implementation...

Anyway, love this lib, thank you so much!

Research direction
Review the comment thread in the issue for insights from the maintainer. Investigate the windows process tree library (https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode windows process tree) to understand its API and how it could be wrapped. Examine the existing pidtree codebase (especially the main module) to determine where to add Windows specific logic. Consider creating a platform conditional implementation that falls back to the current cross platform approach on non Windows systems.
