Before today, the only way to abort the work being done by a web worker was to terminate the worker. This is inconvenient because:
- Data may be lost that would have to be re-transmitted to a new worker instance after termination.
- Shared workers cannot be terminated.
This NPM package can provide a cancellation token based on Atomics.
