i started this, but then jeff took it and ran with it and made it
right.  i think the remaining changes are small -- if jeff would
prefer, i can probably finish it.  (but i won't guarantee not to
mess up the "From:" lines.  :-)

I'm also interested. I sometimes use ":r !command" in vim, so far I never
needed to use Ctrl-C, but maybe in future.

The SIGINT part seems to be finished, we need to decide what about SIGQUIT.

My plan was to just add in SIGQUIT[1] alongside SIGINT (and I think
there may have been one or two other minor comments in response to the
series). I am on vacation this week, but can revisit it next week. If
somebody wants to re-roll it in the meantime, that would be fine with
me.

[1] Given the core-dumping behavior of SIGQUIT, I suspect it is not
    nearly as widely used as SIGINT, but it sounds more like the
    principle of least surprise to treat them the same.
