For what it's worth, using words with multiple commonly accepted spellings in APIs is very error-prone.  Note how the title of this PR uses "Cancellation" but the PR itself mostly uses "cancelation"...

If you _are_ going to pick this name, as far as I can tell "cancellation" is far more popular (e.g. has 10x the number of Google search result hits and is the primary spelling in the dictionaries I have to hand right now), so probably you want the "ll" form.  But again, I think this name is best avoided.
