I see, #handleSignal: just calls valueWithPossibleArgument: instead of #cull...
I don't well see the interest of adding arguments to #on:do: handler,
since they would all be filled with nils...
IMO, this is because we didn't have #cull: previously, so we used an
existsing more powerfull version.

To me, it should be self to just send #cull:
