I think, though, that one of the design goals for a cancellation architecture needs to be that we are able to created cancelable tasks with async functions. My intuition here is that async functions rely on the fact that promises convey no information or capability other than what is represented by their completion value. That's what enables us to make the leap from promise API to declarative syntax.
