Wesley Shields 8489fe22d3 This module adds cancellation capabilities for threads. Cancelled
threads are terminated using threads->exit(). The thread is then
detached, and hence automatically cleaned up.

Threads that are suspended using Thread::Suspend do not need to be
resumed in order to be cancelled.

It is possible for a thread to cancel itself.
