Then I gave a false impression, sorry. #hat you write is likely correct.
And I'm only saying likely because there's always a chance that
something is wrong.

I'm coming to all this from a completely different angle. My
understanding is (1) the signal handling/MPS thing, is the only thing
preventing landing in master, and (2) the problems with
reordering/consistency and so on basically already exists in master. Add
(3) that I believe landing in master ASAP is desirable. If these
premises are not valid, especially (1) I'd like to be corrected, BTW.

My approach is "focus!" :-). Get a signal handling/MPS thing into igc
that is good enough to be accepted, land in master, and only then
proceed with anything else that has come up. Admittedly, neither the
"focus", nor my "good enough solution" seems to work, so far.

If people find that that the wrong approach, or not helpful, please
tell! I'm not married to the idea. I can as well wait for things to
settle by themselves, because everything works just fine already on the
system in my office :-).

I don't know. Maintainers please take over, I guess.
