Let's say you are within a suspend function... What's the most pragmatic way to cancel your execution? Should you just throw a cancellation exception? Or maybe somehow grab the current job and cancel that?

To cancel the current coroutine, throw an exception. If you just cancel the job, then your coroutine will continue to execute until something suspends or checks the job status.

@Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD] yeah my plan was to do both. Cancel current job and then throw cancellation exception

Just throwing the exception should be enough. Otherwise the job will logically have two cancellation exceptions, which is confusing.

True. Thanks i think I'll just throw!
