There are several reasons why this isn't a good idea[1], but it would
make sense to use this approach as the default implementation of
VMThread.sleep.

[1] We're trying to design a stable -- long term -- VM interface, right?
Clever hacks like this don't fit with that. What if a VM wants to
support nanosecond sleep periods?
