I just discovered this and fully agree with the original author that a restriction to use the generic name is very confusing in cases where multiple types of signals could occurr. I'm not sure what the intended benefits are, but this [has already caused confusion over here](https://github.com/WICG/observable/issues/147) and will likely spread to that spec to cause even more confusion and human attention/time wasted in the future.

Please loosen the requirement to also allow property names ending in "Signal".
