Anything that knows about sigset_t will already be using the POSIX macros for it, since sigset_t was a POSIX invention. The old `sigmask'-style functions don't have such an API, so they need to be left as-is. (Such programs would not know about high-numbered signals anyway, so this is no great loss.) Peter D. and I have been discussing this topic over the past few days, and I was about to sit down and do the implementation when I saw your message. I'd appreciate it if you can hold off on yours for a bit. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
