It does under Linux. Not sure about macOS; I didn't run the test
with the noexcept applied but before the fix applied.

But even if it doesn't terminate, you still don't want sp_thread_sleep
to be a cancelation point because it's typically used in spinlock::lock
and you don't want that to be a cancelation point either.
