Summary: Determining timed-out on Condition wait

Initial Comment:
threading.Condition.wait currently does not report
whether the condition was triggered, or whether a
timeout occurred.

Somebody suggested that this would be desirable; I now see
it is not. Closing as not-a-bug.

Martin, why do you consider this to be a bug?  Proper use 
of the condition *protocol* requires checking whether the 
state you're wating for actually obtains after a wait() 
returns, and looping back to try again if the state doesn't 
obtain.  The invariant promised by the condition protocol is 
simply that the condition is acquired whenever wait() 
returns (for whatever reason, be it signal, timeout, 
KeyboardInterrupt, SystemExit, ...).
