Not to make you feel bad or anything, Michael, but you're the first person on
the mailing list to voice any interest in adding trap. Ever.

That being said, we'll be happy to consider a well-implemented version of
trap. Pitching in with Larry, Vladimir and Erik (who are the main hackers on
Busybox sh) would be your best bet.

Agreed. The only patches I've been applying are bugfixes and low-impact
features (such as a new cmd-line option to an existing applet). I'm not
planning on adding any new applets until we release 0.50.
