I think there is value in having this exist in addition to the fuel mechanism rather than as replacement. There are cases where determinism is essential, whether for reproducibility or to implement an rr like debugger. In other cases performance is indeed more important. In those cases the epoch-based interruption can be used.

@bjorn3 yes, indeed, I guess I was thinking "replace many uses of fuel" rather than "actually remove fuel", but that was ambiguous, sorry. I agree that determinism is very useful in other circumstances and so we probably don't want to actually remove fuel; this PR keeps it around and perhaps I can add some documentation on the tradeoff and when to use each.

Updated and added an example -- will resolve the doc-comment broken links then merge, if all's well otherwise. Thanks!
