Comment:

 So I've pushed patches to process, base and the rts to implement this,
 using the -signum encoding.

 * process [changeset:"3ebbe13a82b4f4beb382bb8a07f98e57a8354a85/process"]
 * base [changeset:"6b22a6ef9e59c6562ef6adfad7cd94e27aedec2c/base"]
 * ghc [changeset:"a987b8004e83c694e00cdd47cbf43a9588eb47d4/ghc"]

 There's also haddock docs, and tests (in separate commits). I think we can
 declare this done.
