Recently I made emacs so busy that I could get a C-g in edgewise, and I
had to wait a few minutes for it to finish what it was doing.

I could just from the shell do killall -s HUP emacs but that would just
kill it, without giving me a chance to save my files, etc.

So maybe there should be a way to send it a signal to just slap its face
a little, to get its attention, but not actually kill it.

Perhaps just to do what a C-g would have done, if it had got thru.

(It's besides the point, but I was using
http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Allmessages?uselang=zh-tw and C-g
nor C-c C-k could break thru.)

Version: 24.1

SIGUSR2 should now cause Emacs to stop and enter the debugger.
C-h v debug-on-event
