Hmm, that's interesting.  Further looking at bash's kill_pid() it
seems that this is an inconsistency when kill is invoked on a
non-pgrp, non-jobspec argument which may be a bug.

So FWIW, I do agree that this change may be convenient in many cases.
It's just that I looked at the standard and found no wording which
would permit it.  However, given the preeminence of implementations
that do SIGCONT these, I don't really mind.
