Basically, the Right Thing TM to do here is to make
ped_exception_throw() have an extra parameter for the default

Anyway, the way libparted show's something as being default (in
>=1.5.x) is "Ignore/[Cancel]?" so there are no i18n issues.

and therefore on the back-burner.  It would be nice to interrupt
operations, but not particularly important.

If you REALLY want to stop, you can always SIGKILL.
