It's useful to document things, you know. For a major function like
this, a nice little description of why it exists, what its role is,
etc. Programming is not just an act of telling a computer what to do:
it is also an act of telling other programmers what you wished the
computer to do. Both are important, and the latter deserves care.

Why is its behaviour altered by signal_pending()? This seems broken.
