I believe that my code is correct under the current implementation of MRI. You may think that the method invocation itself `Thread.handle_interrupt(...) do ... end` could be interrupted, but it is not true. There is no point of interruption checks during this method invocation, under the current implementation of MRI. This is very subtle implementation detail of MRI, but it is as I have already stated in #note-14.

Here is a test:

```
def foo
  begin
    sleep
  ensure
    Thread.handle_interrupt(Object => :never) do
      $finalized = true
    end
  end
end

Thread.report_on_exception = false
1000.times do
  $finalized = false
  th = Thread.new { foo }
  sleep 0.1
  3000.times { th.raise }
  begin
    th.join
  rescue
  end
  raise "test failed" unless $finalized
end
```
