Question: Is cancelling manifold.deferred/future possible?

[jeroenvandijk]

Clojure's future has future-cancel [1] which internally calls Thread/interrupt to stop any pending processing where possible. Is there an equivalent for manifold.deferred/future?

Especially if there are nested future's deferred's I can image this to be effective.

[ztellman]

Manifold's future can be cancelled by putting another value into the deferred it returns. However, this won't interrupt the thread if the task is already in progress, just refuse to execute once it comes off the queue.
