Comment (by megaposer):

 It would be great to have this feature available.

 Right now I am doing a busy-loop with a 100 ms timed_wait() and a check on
 an std::atomic<bool> whether there has been an interrupt. This is more
 than unsatisfactory.

 I understand that a proper implementation for this is difficult to
 achieve, especially if one wants to interrupt a very specific thread
 limited to the current process.
