I think the answer to my own question is a 3rd option
to the break command.
Right now we can programmatically suspend break from breaking,
by "break off".
I would happily use that, IF it wasn't so _completely_ off. ;)
Right now, if break is off, then break keypresses are not
registered or detectable at all. They don't go onto the stack
to be detectable later either.
If break is on, it takes full effect immediately, which normally
you want.
So it should be possible to have an option that falls between
on & off. Have the trap handler fill @sk and otherwise act as
if a key were pressed, but do nothing else, like when break is
off. The cammand would be something like "break trap" or if
you're feeling particularly poetic, perhaps "break bkw" ? ;)
