Research direction

Start by reviewing KeyboardInterrupt.patch and test_sig_int_builtins.py, the files attached to this issue. Check how the proposed tests exercise Ctrl-C during long-running built-in operations such as sum. Done means the relevant built-ins can be interrupted and the regression tests pass.
