Consider adding a general capability, independent of current invocation concepts, to align shutdown handling with standard cancellation APIs. (For example, should CancellationToken support be available in async Main?)

What was decided about the question in the title of this issue:

should CancellationToken support be available in async Main?

[jonsequitur]

Apologies for the absence of a description on this issue. I think the issue might be outside the scope of System.CommandLine but the concept of adding CancellationToken support to Main might be worth a new issue in dotnet/runtime.

@adamsitnik Thoughts on this?

I always liked the idea of having a CancellationToken for Main. It was something that also came up when we were discussing the PosixSignal API. See dotnet/runtime#50527 (comment) and following comments.

You can implement it yourself using the PosixSignal API.
