Old description:
New description:
For a while, `interrupt_after_delay()` was the recommended way to test
interrupts. However, since alarms are also handled the same way by Sage,
it's better to use `alarm()`.
I have kept `interrupt_after_delay()` in `ecl.pyx` since that tests an ECL
handler, which apparently doesn't support `SIGALRM`.
