So a stronger hint than "the script is still running?"

I would be more interested (from an implementor point of view) in a
block that said "inside this block, no need to do layout even if I ask
for layout information". That would provide me with information I don't
actually have and allow me to optimize better. However, I think it
would be very difficult to use for authors, because it would be too
error-prone...
