This is all pretty pointless given that PEP 3148 uses cancelled() and concurrent.futures.Future has been released since Python 3.2.

I should have added that I considered 'cancelled' the right choice now for a global language. The case is quite different from 'color' versus 'colour'.

Introducing single-ell aliases is just going to confuse things more.

So this need not be considered for perhaps 50 to 100 years ;-).
