Considering adding a Cancelled event to RAC’s Swift API to reify disposal. It might simplify Signal lifetimes: github.com/ReactiveCocoa/

Not sure what making it an event buys you: what general operation might you perform on a cancellation and also another?

It’s mainly for simplicity. Why shouldn’t consumers handle cancellation just like other forms of termination?

Hm. Seems to conflate with CompositeDisposable. Want to do more on cancellation? addDisposable! or… observe()… sometimes…

My goal would be:
- Producers add to Disposables
- Consumers handle Cancelled events
- Cancel by invoking dispose()

Maybe it should be called Disposed in that case… but anyways, the principle is the same.
