We enabled callers to interface directly with settimeout, but this reacts poorly with blocking/nonblocking operation; as they are using the same internal mechanism.
1. Whenever we change the blocking mechanism temporarily, always set it back to what it was afterwards. 2. Disallow callers from setting a timeout of "0", which means Non-blocking mode. This is going to create more weird problems than anybody wants, so just forbid it. I opt not to coerce '0' to 'None' to maintain the principal of least surprise in mirroring the semantics of Python's interface.
