Actually, I would like to check if the threads working on the queue are still 
alive. 

However, it occurs to me now that I would need a facility to distinguish 
between a timeout and an actual join. Unfortunately, my original patch does not 
provide this, one would have to implement an additional check and think about 
the correct way to signal a timeout.

Also, there seem to be other people looking for this feature:
