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.
