I assume you think that is a long time. It could also mean it is 
stable.

All I am saying is before you start looking into fixing the 
existing std.signals, it may be beneficial to look at 
improvements that others have made. The review thread is here 
[1], voting thread is here [2] (it was a tie). It was not 
accepted into phobos due to lack of thorough review and too 
little interest. Some people think std.signals should be 
deprecated and removed altogether, others think it is a shame it 
didn't get in. Positive feedback exists [3, 4].

Maybe you are the right person to brush this implementation up, 
address the critiques, and open a new PR. According to [5] it is 
already thread safe.
