collapsed into a single exception, and multiple breaks of different
kinds may be collapsed to a single “strongest” break, where a
hang-up break is stronger than an interrupt break, and a terminate

thread requires an explicit check for breaks, and this check is
incompatible with the tail evaluation of a <span class="RktSym"><a href="parameters.html#%28form._%28%28lib._racket%2Fprivate%2Fmore-scheme..rkt%29._parameterize%29%29" class="RktStxLink" data-pltdoc="x">parameterize</a></span>

the break is guaranteed to be delivered before breaks can be disabled

an error value conversion handler, or a <span class="RktSym">pre-thunk</span> or

are disabled during the transitions among handlers related to
exceptions, during the transitions between <span class="RktSym">pre-thunk</span>s and

transitions for a continuation jump. For example, if breaks are
disabled when a continuation is invoked, and if breaks are also
disabled in the target continuation, then breaks will remain disabled
from the time of the invocation until the target continuation
executes unless a relevant <span class="RktSym"><a href="cont.html#%28def._%28%28quote._~23~25kernel%29._dynamic-wind%29%29" class="RktValLink" data-pltdoc="x">dynamic-wind</a></span> <span class="RktSym">pre-thunk</span> or
<span class="RktSym">post-thunk</span> explicitly enables breaks.</p><p>If a break is triggered for a thread that is blocked on a nested
thread (see <span class="RktSym"><a href="threads.html#%28def._%28%28quote._~23~25kernel%29._call-in-nested-thread%29%29" class="RktValLink" data-pltdoc="x">call-in-nested-thread</a></span>), and if breaks are enabled
in the blocked thread, the break is implicitly handled by transferring
it to the nested thread.</p><p>When breaks are enabled, they can occur at any point within execution,
which makes certain implementation tasks subtle. For example, assuming
