Looking for a better way to cancel on keypress from the console
my concern here is partly efficiency. anyone can turn a poll into an event by spinning a thread, but is that really necessary in this case? I don't think it is

Looking for a better way to cancel on keypress from the console

Looking for a better way to cancel on keypress from the console
the thing is, await is what's really hamstringing me here. If I was just polling the task for completion in a loop, I could check for keypress in the polling loop and set the cancelation token.
