I'd be curious to know the cases where you don't want this.. one thing
I was thinking about, what if you have a container fence with two
contained fences.  One is on the same ctx as the job, one is not but
signals sooner.  You end up artificially waiting on both, which seems
sub-optimal.

Anyways, I can make this a new entrypoint which unwraps, and/or rename
the internal static function, if we think this is a good idea.
