Deprecate Control.Exception.blocked in favour of getMaskingState
I proposed deprecating Control.Exception.blocked in
favour of getMaskingState.
The term "blocked" refers to the old way of dealing with asynchronous
exceptions (block/unblock). It can also be a bit confusing to which
"blocked" property it refers: blocked asynchronous exceptions, or a
blocked thread.
Note that blocked is already listed in the section "(deprecated) Asynchronous exception control"
There were no objections and one +1 from Simon Marlow.
The patch is attached.
