io.github.libtmux.Pane.Pane.respawn() -> void
```

Kills whatever runs here and starts the pane's default command again.

<p>tmux refuses to respawn a pane that is still running something, on every supported release,
so what is asked for is always the killing form. Restarting a live process is the whole point
of the call.
