It would probably be a lot of work and even then it would still be unsafe.

I'd argue against general thread cancellation. Inter-thread
signals, though, have safety problems no worse than the first-thread
only signals we have now. You're allowed to raise an exception
in a signal handler, which is effectively thread cancellation.
So right now, you can kill the first thread from another thread.
