https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/4283 adds a secondary timeout, which 
defaults to 1 s when there is no main timeout. But this seems complicated and 
arbitrary. As I understand, the main use case discussed here was waiting 
without a timeout for a child that exits soon after the interrupt. But are 
there any practical use cases or demand for:

* Limiting the wait time after the interrupt (despite no timeout before the 
interrupt)?
* Customizing this additional timeout?
