Picking up some loose ends...

It sounds good, but tricky to implement.  I'm also not sure it's exactly
the right interface -- for example, Java seems to have switched entirely
away from the "cancel" API to the "interrupt" API.  But you would know
more about that than I would.  Would you use cancel-thread or would you
have the thread raise an exception via an async, or what?

Curiously yours,

Andy
