You can signal threads, and this is what I am using to alert threads
(in Modula-3 environment speak) so they can raise Alerted exception and
terminate when I need them to. This is higher level behaviour and can
be something else than you ask for. In any case, you can use such a
handler to set some flag specific to thread and check for it when
appropriate. I am using SIG39 for this and also for garbage collector's
stop-while-i-check.

This global flag can be something youcan use in your predicates, I
think.
