No, I was not suggesting any change to native mode. I'm merely saying that
if we can't have the lower-case version in sh/ksh modes, we need the upper
case one there. $signals is strictly informational, so it doesn't need to
be present in those modes at all, but HISTCHARS is writable and controls
features of history.
