Okay but is it possible to write signal handlers in eiffel?

This is really expensive in many cases and impossible for a compiler
to figure out
so there has to be an annotation. It was not specified in Eiffel for
one very simple
reason: It was just not on the agenda.

If i see how SCOOP took people in talking about things without any
real programmers
life relevance i know why the whole multithreading is not done well
and why i had
to patch my own smalleiffel version.
