You're completely evading my question :p
Could you answer it please?

That's one of the very rare cases, maybe even the only case in core methods that cannot be interrupted by Thread#raise.

Is the idea to simply give up on interrupting anything that's not handled by the scheduler if there is a `Fiber.scheduler`, or something better?
That seems too incompatible to me.
I think a new API to interrupt only scheduler things might make more sense (related to #17363).

* Author: ioquatix (Samuel Williams)

* Priority: Normal

----------------------------------------
In this bug report, user complained that `Timeout.timeout` does not work correctly with scheduler: https://github.com/socketry/async-io/issues/43

We should introduce non-blocking timeout.

I propose the following:

```
rb_fiber_scheduler_with_timeout(VALUE scheduler, VALUE timeout, VALUE block)
```

We can directly modify `Timeout.timeout` to invoke this hook.
