Well I'm not going to abandon a tasty cake just because it doesn't come
with my favorite topping.

Besides, I wasn't trying to make Emacs itself non-blocking, but looking
for options to do it all myself, manually. And the trick with replacing
thread-yield with a 1ms sleep puts me pretty much 90% there.
