I just tested it: Zsh is trapped once but bash twice on INT.

This works:
```
if [[ $shell = bash ]]
then
    trap "echo trapped" EXIT

elif [[ $shell = zsh ]]
then
    trap "echo trapped; exit" INT
fi
```
BUT: it does not work when I extend the signals to
```
elif [[ $shell = zsh ]]
then
    trap "echo trapped; exit" INT HUP TERM
fi
```

Then Zsh does actually ignore the kill (TERM) signal.
