My plan was to just add in SIGQUIT[1] alongside SIGINT (and I think
there may have been one or two other minor comments in response to the
series). I am on vacation this week, but can revisit it next week. If
somebody wants to re-roll it in the meantime, that would be fine with
me.

    nearly as widely used as SIGINT, but it sounds more like the
    principle of least surprise to treat them the same.
