But they will continue working "just fine". They will simply remain 
thread-cancel-UNsafe. Too bad we don't have throw(...) and throw() 
wan't made the default (I presume 2-phase EH and kinda "intelligent" 
cancelation points [and also async-cancel "delivery" inside async-
cancel-safe regions, of course]).
