can a thread handle an interrupt for real?
it doesnt look like it in the api.
there could be a method called interruptHandler that would be called
when another thread said interrupt(Thread).	you could even have
interrupt(Thread, Object) and interruptHandler(Object).  This would
allow true, dynamic, asynchronous, interrupt-driven message passing.
it looks like daemon Thread's
must poll to see if an another thread wishes a service.

or did i miss something?
