 What would be involved in implementing this method within Mono?

+This sounds like a relatively simple method to implement, as we have
+most of the infrastructure in place.
+
+From the manual, Interrupt is basically a "mild" abort, it will only
+throw the exception if the code is currently in the WaitSleepJoin
+state, it will not abort anything.
+
+If the thread is not in that state, it just keeps a flag around, for
+the time the thread needs to switch into WaitSleepJoin, and at that
+point it would trigger the interrupt exception.
