That would be pretty cool, yes, although it doesn't strictly require 
Crochet be part of Twisted.

Huh. Well... Crochet exits when main thread exits, so if atexit was 
called that means there's no more threads. So that probably wouldn't work.

More broadly, Crochet is a pile of these sort of horrible hacks, 
encapsulated in one place and hidden as much as possible. But there's 
rough edges that poke out occasionally. I'm not sure Twisted ought to be 
that kind of library.
