Kill threads at will?

That requires some explanation. Basically I think runtimes should be abort safe and have some defined thing that happens when a thread is aborted. Antiquated 70s blocking APIs do not, or do not consistently.

It’s a minor gripe compared to the heaviness of threads and making every programmer hand roll fibers by way of async.
