=== Verdict ===

Rejected in its current implementation

=== Review manager comment ===

Apart from some implementation / documentation issues mentioned 
by reviewers important concern is general lack of interest in 
such module. It looks too niche to get amount of attention needed 
for detailed reviewing and this will remain concern even if all 
issues will be addressed. One possible recommendation is to keep 
module as separate dub package in Phobos candidate category so 
that it can't be easily discovered by those seeking sinal 
implementation and go for another review once it gets some user 
base to back it.

==============================

As an additional comment I wonder if existing signal module 
should be deprecated and removed completely from Phobos even 
desite lack of replacement. It sits in the very same niche as 
this proposal and has even worse implementation with plenty of 
reported bugs. It becomes hard to justify it at this point.
