I don't consider us against improvements and neither Yang Tse nor me expressed
it that way - or if I did I certainly didn't mean it.

It is just important that what you consider is an improvement isn't considered
a regression by a bunch of other users.

I can see a use for your idea, but then it should _only_ call the progress
function when actually and truly a signal was caught. IMHO.
