                    mechanism to facilitate long-running scripts

        OS/Version: All

For a long-running script, JSEvaluateScript() will eventually throw a timeout error.
There's no way to control how long should pass before the script times out.
There's no way to receive notifications while the script is running (e.g. whether it should be aborted or not).

It would be nice to be able install a callback that the runtime would invoke, say, every N milliseconds to query whether evaluation should be aborted.
