------------------------------+----------------------------------
 Section 3.7 of control-spec.txt documents the `SIGNAL` command, which can
 cause some actions that correspond to Unix signals that one can send to
 the tor process.  Some of these actions have no corresponding Unix
 signals, so can only be invoked via the control protocol.  We should
 document these facts to avoid confusion.
