fixed the spelling and you're right it's not a super common requirement, but it comes up in context of designing APIs to use promises, and if you are trying to add promises to an API that is cancelable, you'd want some way to express that.

Do you have any idea what the current direction is(if any?) that they are moving in? I'm mostly familiar with the use of tokens; Golang using Context and C# using CancelationToken.

I currently utilize cancellation tokens myself in nodejs(TypeScript) when creating libraries or wrapping the stdlib event/stream based stuff.

With this canceled there is no official direction, and any further movement will likely be based on what is decided in the community.
