how about add a way to interrupt the loop from outside?
Currently only provides a way to break the loop internally by return end symbol, It would be useful to provide a way to cancel the loop from outside like below.
const cancellablePromise = pForever(async () => {
});
cancellablePromise.cancel();why i need to cancel a promise from outside? bcz code like below is stupid.😓
let loopShouldStop = false;
pForever(async () => {
if (loopShouldStop) return pForever.end;
await doJobA();
if (loopShouldStop) return pForever.end;
await doJobB();
if (loopShouldStop) return pForever.end;
await doJobC();
});

Run promise-returning & async functions repeatedly until you end it
