+- sys.setcheckinterval() now updates the current ticker count as well as updating
+ the check interval, so if the user decreases the check interval, the ticker
+ doesn't have to wind down to zero from the old starting point before the new
+ interval takes effect. And if the user increases the interval, it makes sure
+ the new limit takes effect right away rather have an early task switch before
+ recognizing the new interval.
