Subject: Re:  rc and signal handlers

signal handlers ARE function definitions. They just have the
added feature that they get run at "interrupt level". If
it's not obvious that you can't "return" from a signal
handler, then you need to think a little more carefully
about what signals are.

btw,

; fn sigint { echo hi }
; sigint
