SIGUSRn are different in that they are ``soft'', and are not generally
expected to interrupt code in dangerous state. The fact that SIGTERM
in this case is a programmed means to stop Emacs does not mean it's
the only use case where SIGTERM is delivered to Emacs. We shouldn't
IMO change code based just on this single use case.
