+-- * This will replace any existing SIGINT
+-- handler during the action. After the computation
+-- has completed the existing handler will be restored.
+-- * If the IO action is lazy (e.g. using readFile,
+-- unsafeInterleaveIO etc.) the lazy computation will
+-- not be interruptible, as it will be performed
+-- after the signal handler has been removed.
