annotation allowCancellation(interface, method, file) :Void;
# Indicates that the server-side implementation of a method is allowed to be canceled when the
# client requests cancellation. Without this annotation, once a method call has been delivered to
# the server-side application code, any requests by the client to cancel it will be ignored, and
# the method will run to completion anyway. This applies even for local in-process calls.
#
# This behavior applies specifically to implementations that inherit from the C++ `Foo::Server`
# interface. The annotation won't affect DynamicCapability::Server implementations; they must set
# the cancellation mode at runtime.
#
# When applied to an interface rather than an individual method, the annotation applies to all
# methods in the interface. When applied to a file, it applies to all methods defined in the file.
#
# It's generally recommended that this annotation be applied to all methods. However, when doing
# so, it is important that the server implementation use cancellation-safe code. See:
#
#     https://github.com/capnproto/capnproto/blob/master/kjdoc/tour.md#cancellation
#
# If your code is not cancellation-safe, then allowing cancellation might give a malicious client
# an easy way to induce use-after-free or other bugs in your server, by requesting cancellation
# when not expected.
