I'd really prefer to do this as/along with an SB API test since we also need commands made through the SB API to be interruptible, and we should test that that also works. So this kills two birds with one stone.
In general, when developing any high-level features in lldb one of the questions you should ask yourself is whether this is useful at the SB API layer. In this case it obviously is (actually I'm a little embarrassed I didn't think of this requirement). If so, then it's simplest to test it at that layer. If the SB API is anything more than a pass-through, then you might also want to write a unit test for the underlying C++ API's. But in this case the SB function will just call the underlying CommandInterpreter one, so testing at the SB layer is sufficient.
