eventually have a look at vim-addon-signs. You pass a list of
file,line,sign_type to a function, and the plugin does everything else.

Its you keeping a list of signs the way you want, just making the script
update everything else. Maybe it just solves your problem.

The sign interface is broken by design, because two scripts could be
using the same sign numbers by accident.

Talk about what you want to do. Such as
- I want to debug python code within vim
- I want to get XY, and I think redir is the nicest way to get what I
want like this, do you see a shorter way?

Other than that it looks like you know how to read :h signs - if a
feature is not listed there it might not exist.
