Thanks for for your contribution.

We want *exactly* that because our intention is to put the NXdata group
containing multiple signals *inside* and NXprocess group. As you see we
want the same thing and having "signals" would allow us to do it because
as far as I know NXdata has no restrictions about where can be located
in a NeXus file.

We would be able to store in NXprocess the configuration used for the
treatment and the results of it.
