Comment(by andersk):
Waah… that’s going to confuse anyone who knows that the real encoding is
`(exit code << 8) + signal` (which, say, Perl forces you to learn). If
that’s what we end up with, I guess that difference ought to be noted in
the documentation.
I’m not sure I see the problem with an extra constructor that’s unused on
non-Unix, but other than that I don’t really have anything else to
propose.
