You are both right: on TTY's C-g triggers SIGINT, and we do longjmp
from the SIGINT handler; on X C-g (like any keypress) triggers SIGIO,
and we do NOT longjmp from the SIGIO handler.

Anyway, can we please cool down and discuss this in a more friendly
fashion?  Daniel, if Pip has some reservations about the design or the
implementation on the branch, please make the effort to explain your
ideas and goals, and please try to address the concerns.  We should
strive to arrive at changes on which we all agree, and we should be on
the same page regarding the goals and the means to reach those goals.

I hope no one takes a break because they feel attacked.
