When attempting to fail-fast when interrupted, you should preserve the
interrupted status of the thread by calling
`Thread.currentThread().interrupt()`:

```java
try {
  mightTimeOutOrBeCancelled(); // for example myFuture.get()
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
  Thread.currentThread().interrupt(); // Restore the interrupted status
  throw new MyCheckedException("[describe what task was interrupted]", e);
}
```

The current code is likely accidentally calling `Thread.interrupted()`, which
clears the interrupt bit. (That is typically a no-op in this situation because
the interrupt bit is generally already unset when `InterruptedException` has
been thrown.) `thread.interrupt()` correctly restores the interrupt bit.
