Not possible to call kill(pid, 0) #441

According to the man page:

If sig is 0, then no signal is sent, but error checking is still performed; this can be used to check for the existence of a process ID or process group ID.

The current signature is pub fn kill(pid: pid_t, signal: Signal), and I think it should use Option<Signal>.
