I know this, but this can be very important for codes running on simulation servers. Often signals are used to tell a process to save state and shut down as it is going to be moved to another system or the server needs maintenance. I have to handle SIGINT to do exactly this on our simulation systems (currently I run python and C++ codes which can do this). For this reason it would be useful to easily register julia functions as signal handlers so that we can achieve something like this.
Of course I could ccall, but I'd rather have an official way to do this.
