Yes that makes a lost of sense, logically. It just seems odd, to me,

Now, if "signal" actually fired off code in a different interrupt-like
context...that would be both logical and reasonable.

Originally, when TinyOS was Perl scripts that munged some cpp macros, there were two macros:

TOS_CALL_COMMAND()
TOS_SIGNAL_EVENT()

They needed to be distinct because

TOS_COMMAND() and
TOS_EVENT()

led to different names.
