Summary: Script access to Tcl_CancelEval

Initial Comment:
It would be useful to have a command

    thread::cancel ?-unwind? thread_id ?interp_path?

that translates to the TIP #285 function implemented in Tcl 8.6

    int Tcl_CancelEval(Tcl_Interp *interp, ClientData clientData, int flags)

and goes beyond "interp cancel" by allowing a script to cancel an interpreter in another thread.

I think this is done in Thread 2.7.  If
confirmed, this can be closed.

Message:
Indeed. I already have some plans to include this kind of functionality
by using Tcl_AsyncMark mechanism that would be applicsblle to 8.4+
cores. I cannot give you any timing though.

Cheers
Zoran
