I would personally like to have sub-watchdogs.  For example, if I have 
a group of tasklets A and a group of tasklets B, I would like the 
capability to run ONLY tasklets in group A (and whatever tasklets they 
cause to be run directly), while still maintaining the ability to 
interrupt if the process takes too long (basically so I can time slice 
separate "processes" that need exclusive access to the same resource, 
in this particular case it's sys.stdin/stdout/stderr).

I'm not sure if this is possible with tasklet.insert()/tasklet.remove() 
games.. as I haven't tried that yet.
