[Returned for revision] SE-0371: Isolated synchronous deinit

[BrentM (Brent Mifsud)]

@Stan_Smida

May I ask if there is any progress / priority / estimation around this?

If I understand it correctly, there is currently no way how to gracefully shutdown pending items isolated to the actor in deinit?

These may by pending URL tasks, opened file handlers, locks, closures that require to call a completion, expensive executions, files to be deleted, memory to be freed, potentially notifications / eventns to be fired or even observers and schedulers to be cancelled (unowned, indirect). Lots of stuff... Is there a workaround to this or why aren't people concerned about it?

I am concerned about it. The inability to cancel some long running/infinite tasks has already caused a few problems for me today. I hope this feature comes soon.
