We should look at the use sites to be sure, but it's generally not an inconvenience for tests to deal with checked exceptions; it's perfectly acceptable for them to declare `throws InterruptedException` or even `throws Exception` and let the framework handle the exception if the test itself doesn't want to.

Thanks, Stuart. I've updated the new method to throw `InterruptedException`, and pass the exception from `InvocationTargetException` on through.
