It was in alpha, and may have been in prebeta, but I know it's no longer
available. Use "stop(Object)" instead - it's supposed to work just like
postException, I believe. I guess "interrupt()" would also fit in this
general scheme, if it were implemented.

Well, you're not really throwing things in the same sense with this new scheme.
