If you still think it should print the foreground dead jobs after
reading the rest of my previous email [1], I'm fine with the current
behavior.

Then, I have a question: Is there any way to distinguish the entries
of foreground dead jobs from the ones for the background ones in the
output of the `jobs' command? If not, does it make sense to add a
special marker or a status word in pretty_print_job (jobs.c:2040) or
in print_pipeline (jobs.c:1939)?
