It is related yes; consider the back-trace:

  <signal>     is_interrupted=1 is_signal=1 -- inner
  handler()    is_interrupted=1 is_signal=0
  <signal>     is_interrupted=0 is_signal=1
  foo()        is_interrupted=1 is_signal=0
  main()       is_interrupted=0 is_signal=0 -- outer

Thanks for the explanation and sorry for the late response.

Yes, adding such a bit sounds useful.
