MenTaLguY,

I specified something along the lines of Thread.interrupt for
Ruby around Christmas last year.  It's a long thread.  My proposal starts
here:

ruby-core:14301

I intend to implement this for 1.8.6 and 1.6.8 (yes, we still use it :-).
I'd be interested in hearing what you think of it.
Would this be analogous to Java's "Thread.interrupt" mechanism?
Would it be able to remove the races inherent in Ruby's Thread.raise?

- brent
