Let's do what you suggested: add :predicate argument to exemption-wait
and loop over it in C. I think we may make it optional and if not
supplied - current behavior will remain (mostly cause people are used
to pthreads model in which spurious wakeups are possible).

If you agree - I'll implement it (and document it together with per
thread timing) these days.
