Description

`Promise` cancellation is [a very fraught topic with a long history](https://medium.com/@benlesh/promise-cancellation-is-dead-long-live-promise-cancellation-c6601f1f5082), but `Task` is not necessarily limited to the `Promise` API, beyond the general aspiration to remain `Promise`-compatible (thenable).
