I've a small RFE for the sake of writing shell signal traps which use
.sh.sig a bit easier.
Currently ksh either use custom names ("stopped", "exited", "dumped")
or numbers in .sh.sig.code. This is frustrating from the viewpoint of
script programmer who actually have to look into the ksh sources or
try to trigger the matching event to figure out the string value ksh
uses for a given si_code.
Could we just avoid this and just use the uppercase names defined by
Opengroup in <signal.h>, i.e.
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009696699/basedefs/signal.h.html?
Otherwise ksh93(1) must be updated to list each signal and the names
or numbers (which aren't portable BTW) used.
