Yes, it's a common idiom and is almost universally supported, but
POSIX is quite clear that "trap 0 1 2 3 15" is supposed to execute the
command "0" when one of the signals 1 2 3 15 arrive.

I reviewed how ksh etc. actually behave, and it's pretty clear that
this is a bug in POSIX.  None of the shells I checked behave the way
that POSIX requires.  I just now submitted a bug report to the Open
Group (my reference number 20060125a), and we'll see how they resolve
it.
