FWIW, someone on the newsgroup suggested implementing this via a slight
modification to sys.checkinterval(). The idea was that a None argument would
translate to "stop-checking" and the active thread would do a few steps
atomically and then restore the original value. The new with-statement makes
that a piece of cake.
