Thank you Eli! `debug-on-event`was exactly what I was looking for. This
way I can define an `interruptible` macro, which is only effective
around interruptible sections of code.

Daniel

~~~
;; Disable debugger
(setq debug-on-event nil)
(advice-add #'debug :around #'ignore)

;; Interruptible sections
(defmacro interruptible (&rest body)
  `(condition-case err
       (let ((debug-on-event 'sigusr2)) ,@body)
     (quit nil)))

;; Example
(while t
  (interruptible
   (message "COMPUTE")
   (sleep-for 1)
   (message "COMPUTE-END")))
