It is currently incompatible as to keep it <= / >= etc. comparable it must be
kept as a pointer-to-struct, not as a struct-as-value.  This approach expects
there is a finite set of predefined target_signal possibilities.

But then arbitrary set of dynamic content requires some allocate/free and/or
ref/unref.  Marking all reffing/unreffing in the code is according to my
experience unmanageable.
