Overall looks ok, and satisfies the requirement of JEP 260.
It took me a while to satisfy myself that it is ok to "ignore"
the passed Signal in the wrapper's 'handle' methods. The assumption
is that this wrapper's signal field and the passes signal are, MUST,
represent the same underlying signal. Maybe an assert to make this
Looking at j.i.m.Signal.<init>, I can see that you explicitly check
for the 'SIG' prefix and prepend it if not there, but toString() also
prepends it. Will getName also be impacted by this ( it may now have
the name prepended with 'SIG', where it previously was not ).
