[posila] [0.15.28] get_signal doesn't return nil when no signal

[theRustyKnife]

The documentation says that when you call LuaConstantCombinatorControlBehavior.get_signal on a slot with no signal, nil will be returned.
In reality, it returns something like this: {count = n}, where n is the count of the last signal set in that slot.

I want to keep the current behavior. Any suggestion how to rephrase the documentation to make it more clear signal in the returned table is nil, not the return value itself?

[theRustyKnife]

That's quite tricky... Maybe something like this: Gets the signal at the given index. If there is none, the last known count is returned with nil as the signal.
Also saying that the returned value is a Signal might help.

Why do you want to keep this behavior? Is it useful for anything? I'm not opposed to the idea, just curious.

Mainly because I don't want to introduce mod breaking change for no good reason at this stage of 0.15
