My major concern would be, how does this* really* add to PHP?  Perhaps I'm
missing the point, but what would this allow that can't be done in some
form using well defined "patterns", for lack of a better word.

I'm not keen on the idea of throwing things such as Interrupts either, it
doesn't quite fit with their general use case.
