All Implemented Interfaces:

Constant<Signal>, java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<Signal>
```
public final class Signal
extends java.lang.Error
implements Constant<Signal>
```
A special Error which is used to signal some state or request by throwing it. Signal has an empty stack trace and has no cause to save the instantiation overhead.
