i cant be the first to think 'Cancelling (transient state), completed = false, isCancelled = true' is weak. Feels like we needed an api state of .isCancelling = true, .isCancelled = false

Skeen's law: A software's behavior will be exactly opposite of its title. For example, the quickplay library should be expected to be slow, and to not actually play.

Really excited about this PR removing 43 suspend functions.
Coroutines are great! BUT.
Wrapping callback based APIs involving serial threads with dispatcher calls to provide suspend APIs is an antipattern that leads to queue based slow downs.
