[whatwg/dom] Request for a different type of example of abort steps (Issue #1031)

Might you folks be able to point at a more detailed example of how one's "[abort steps](https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#abortcontroller-api-integration)" might signal to one's overall algorithm that it needs to "Stop doing amazing things." ? 

I am guessing that one's abort steps could set a "stop doing things" flag, and one's overall algorithm's in-parallel steps could check that flag now-and-then and if true then one's spec would simply say to "abort these alg steps" (it wouldn't need to do the promise rejection at that point because the "abort steps" (per [abortcontroller-api-integration](https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#abortcontroller-api-integration)) take care of it) ....?
