The behavior I would expect when facing such a problem is the
following:
* I want my exit function to always be called, no matter what
          o I'm aware that it won't be called in case of SIGKILL or
            os._exit() though
    * I do not want to override previously registered signal handlers
     (if any)
          o Instead I want the old handler to be called fist and my
            exit function to be called last
Aren't nested handlers usually called in a last-in/first-out manner?
