+### CancellablePromiseInterface
+
+A cancellable promise provides a mechanism for consumers to notify the creator
+of the promise that they are not longer interested in the result of an
+operation.
+
+#### CancellablePromiseInterface::cancel()
+
+``` php
+$promise->cancel();
+```
+
+The `cancel()` method notifies the creator of the promise that there is no
+further interest in the results of the operation.
+
+Once a promise is settled (either fulfilled or rejected), calling `cancel()` on
+a promise has no effect.
