I see no reason to prefer signal(3) over sigaction(2) for pages that aren't
about C-standard functions.

Hmm: sh(1) and ksh(1) have *nothing* from sections 2 or 3 in their SEE
ALSO.  That doesn't seem like a wrong choice, albeit inconsistent with
csh(1).  Part of me feels like _if_ they're going to mention umask(2),
setrlimit(2), and sigaction(2), then they should mention chdir(2), as the
other classic "must be in the shell" syscall.  <shrug>
