Well, in an ideal world the signal handler could just set the quit-flag
which would interrupt running lisp code and in consequence allow the
sigterm EVENT being handled reliably always, such that things like
autosave could be done from lisp as well.

I don't know however whether emacs' "quit-world" is ideal enough for
this scenario.
