This helps. A lot. ;)

Neat! Thank you!

However, since even after this safe use of timeout requires for me to
create a particular exception for local use, or check for nesting,
I am wondering if there should be a companion method, such as
"timebreak" that merely rudely interrupts the execution of a the block
instead of raising an exception.

I suspect that that is that most common use timeout sees...
