Right, if you catch InterruptedException then you should re-throw it, or 
reset the interrupted status if continuing or throwing a different 
exception. As it happens, I am hoping to adding "Thread Interruption" 
section to the Thread class description that includes guidance on this, 
and also gives us a place to link to from other parts of the API docs. 
Work in progress [1], not a PR as it's ready for review.
