Towards userspaceification of POSIX – part I: signal handling and IO

This is very typical rust project. Trying to change the old world while tightly following the old world in a very unimaginative way.

Maybe too much memory safety is bad for creativity?

maybe too little memory safety means your wit overflows back to 0?

Rust overflows in the same way (granted it does provide convenient built-in wrappers to check for overflows).

It's the way of the world. Once memory safety has properly infiltrated most of the world, we can move on to (re-)discover other kinds safety.
