Oh, I see. That's a slightly different matter, but still, unwinding
makes little sense when the signal (and thus its exception) can occur
at any time meaning anything.

This does look like a very specific feature for a very specific use
case (which I can't fathom). ;) But I don't think that will be
considered on a possible refactoring of the exception handling in
LLVM.
