I just had a new idea. What about
(with-timeout-forms
(progn
(bla)
(bla))
(1 (message "This is sure taking a lot of time..."))
(10 (message "This is sure taking forever!")))
A la condition-case and stuff, although here we have forms that are
run if the main form takes too long. And we can have several of them,
like "Waiting for Gmail to finish; type C-g to skip" in the second
form.
And stuff. This almost sounds generally useful. :-)
