Common `Cancelable` interface?

See original GitHub issue

I think it would be an improvement to align Job, Deferred, and Channel under a common Cancelable interface. It doesn’t have to be named that, but I think it should be similar to the RxJava Disposable interface, perhaps having the equivalent of 2 methods, cancel, and isCancelled. Perhaps it would be appropriate to break out the isActive, and isCompleted into their own interfaces as well?

Having a utility class that would be the equivalent of the CompositeDisposable would be convenient as well.

I don’t have a problem submitting a PR myself, I thought it appropriate to discuss this first though.

Currently, CoroutineScope provides a mechanism for abstracting any computation/scope (whether it is an actor, job or a future), the new interface may add even more confusion, so I’d rather not to introduce it.

Bare channel does not. There are produce and actor builders that tie the channel to the job. However, the resulting “channel’s job” is not currently exposed via public api.
