--- Comment #1 from Florian Weimer <fweimer at redhat dot com> ---
Could you provide more information why you need this?

If we add such a function, it would be essentially broken, leaking resources
and generally leaving the process in an undefined state, just like
TerminateThread on Windows or java.lang.Thread#stop() on Java.
