Hi Ludo :)
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
