    SignalSet allows catching of multiple signals. A SignalSet consists of
    a number of signals and also implements the #handle:do: and #catch: methods
    just as signals do. 
    However, any signal from the SignalSet will, if signalled, lead into the handler.

    There is also a special signalSet, which can be used to catch any
    signal in the system - but this should no longer be used, since catching
    Object>>errorSignal has now the same effect.

    For more detail, see comment in Signal and examples in doc/coding.

    Notice: SignalSets are not needed when a group of children of a common signal
    (such as arithmeticSignal) is to be handled; the parent signal of those will
    also handle all children.
    Use signalSets if totally unrelated signals should be handled by one common
    handler.
