Me personally I am very cool about (existing) interruption support. I 
think thread interruption really ought to be part of an improved, 
more generic C++ exception handling mechanism, and not bolted on top 
by user code.

In other words, thread interuption in my opinion really ought to be 
supported directly by the C++ runtime. But that's another discussion 
you can read about on the ISO study groups (if you're really bored).

Of course! Though I fear I have little knowledge to share, except 
that of how ignorant I am.
