   * emitted in the thread that cancelled the operation, not the
   * thread that is running the operation.
   * 
   * Note that disconnecting from this signal (or any signal) in a
   * multi-threaded program is prone to race conditions. For instance
   * it is possible that a signal handler may be invoked even after
   * a call to Glib::signal_handler_disconnect() for that handler has
   * already returned.
   * 
   * There is also a problem when cancellation happens right before
   * connecting to the signal. If this happens the signal will
   * unexpectedly not be emitted, and checking before connecting to
   * the signal leaves a race condition where this is still happening.
   * 
   * In order to make it safe and easy to connect handlers there
   * are two helper functions: g_cancellable_connect() and
   * g_cancellable_disconnect() which protect against problems
   * like this.
   * 
   * An example of how to us this:
   * 
   * [C example ellipted]
   * 
   * Note that the cancelled signal is emitted in the thread that
   * the user cancelled from, which may be the main thread. So, the
   * cancellable signal should not do something that can block.
