	The fun part is that Manish and I, chatting over this, came to
the conclusion that if you were up to serious evangelism of the One True
Signal/Event Method, we'd go along with the new behavior.  I figure that
if we *are* going to change it, 2.0 is the time.  We're breaking
everything else, so why not? :-)  Backward compat is good, but a foolish
backward compat is the hobgoblin of Microsoft.
	Speaking of, can I get GEnumeration in?  *RUN*
