Yeah, that's what Rhys told me by private email. I suggested asking the
PostGIS guys, but if GEOS is intended to be a platform-neutral module, I
guess it's not very likely that they'll be adding a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS
in the loops there.

(Peeking much further starts to get too time-consuming for me so I left
it at that.)
