 I would have figured that the best way to properly kill a thread would
be to have some form of channel (i.e. Events.t)-based communication
between threads -- and then killing the channel.

 Trouble is that, as I've just realized, there is no such facility as
killing/sending an exception through a channel. Does anyone know why ?

Cheers,
 David
