I think that one would have to do more than simply interrupt the
steps, as that would cause the motor to slip to an unknown position
(with steppers, not so with step/dir servo amps)

Freezing the commanded position to the stepgen would allow the stepgen
maxaccel to catch the problem, though (possibly)
