You'd be forgoing the ability to do it easily. You'll always be able to
use the C API to do it the slightly harder way.

You'll save some code size and memory too.

I'll be interested in your results. If the vfuncs and default signal
handlers significantly slow anything down then I'd like to know why
and/or optimize the problem away.
