Unfortunately that's true, but using the signal module with asyncio
the way you did is *not* safe. The only safe way is to use the
loop.add_signal_handler() interface.
Does this mean Windows users should not bother trying to use asyncio ?
(I haven't yet, due to lack of time, but I'd hate to think of folks,
including myself in the future, investing a lot of time developing
something and then discover it can never be reliable, due to this sort
of "unsafe" or "not-available-on-Windows" feature.)
