But what about an "impossible" wait?
A thread in a pseudo-infinite wait will wake eventually, and the platform
cannot know if this was intentional or not.
But a thread waiting on a blocking queue whose only reference is the thread
itself will never wake, since there is no one to insert into the queue.
