Description

Because threads.js installs it's own signal handlers for `SIGINT` and `SIGTERM` and those handlers call `process.exit`, that means it's impossible to ensure that whatever other cleanup needs to happen when terminated actually happens. Because of this libraries should not generally install signal handlers at all, leaving this up to the application code. This is why the [tiny-worker faq](https://github.com/avoidwork/tiny-worker#faq) mentioned in the code is a FAQ, because it would be unwise for tiny-worker to install those signal handlers itself, the developer using tiny-worker needs to do that at whatever point is appropriate for their application.

I'll attempt to find the time this afternoon to put together a PR, but thought I should at least mention this problem in case anyone else is having issues with cleanup not happening. Personally, my opinion is that a library like this shouldn't be adding signal handlers at all, though you could provide a method that the developer could call to opt-in to this feature. If you intend to keep the signal handlers enabled by default though, we need at a minimum some way to opt out of that.
