I _wish_ that's how it worked in Squeak. I've been missing the VW
interruptWith: aBlock for some time now.

The existing Process>>terminate just unwinds the context and takes it off
the list.

So you can't catch terminate, unfortunately.

Does anyone know how to do interruptWith: in Squeak? I'd be willing to take
a crack at it if I knew where to start.

It would let you interrupt a running Process, examine it in the debugger,
and then restart it.

It would also allow for more complex timeout and threading patterns.
