Ctrl-Alt-Del will in effect do that (although it uses SIGINT, which
reboots after halt). Alternatively, kill -INT (-TERM) 1.

Yes. IMHO shutdown(8) at least should do its stuff via SIG{INT,TERM} to
init. Reboot is a special case - it's good to have some means of bypassing
init and I've always equated /sbin/init with that sort of functionality.
