Except that for POSIX Real-Time Signals (those numbered between
SIGRTMIN and SIGRTMAX) you *must* have the lowest-numbered one,
regardless of when it was queued.

I personally see no reason to abandon the old signal bitmaps, even
with an implementation of Real-Time Signals.  Please look carefully at
what POSIX requires an implementation to do for RTS.  (One of the
Stevens books also contains a good summary.)
