I understand now the complaint about "signal handlers
not being functions"

The problem is that the rc signal handler does not invoke
signal-functions the same way that functions are normally
invoked. So far the only difference I noticed is that
"return" is not handled.

I am inclined to make the two the same, if only because
it simplifies the interface. It also means that you
will be able to set $status from within a signal handler
by using "return", for whatever that's worth.
