 For future extensibility, the properties of `additionalMethods` should be taken as truthy rather than strictly typed booleans. We may add additional metadata (see [#1](https://github.com/Level/supports/issues/1)).
 
+### `signals` (object)

+Which methods or method groups take a `signal` option? At the time of writing there is only one method group: `iterators`. This includes `db.iterator()`, `db.keys()` and `db.values()`. For example:
