cancel abstract method Null safety

Future cancel()

Cancels the stream iterator (and the underlying stream subscription) early.

The stream iterator is automatically canceled if the moveNext future completes with either false or an error.

If you need to stop listening for values before the stream iterator is automatically closed, you must call cancel to ensure that the stream is properly closed.

If moveNext has been called when the iterator is canceled, its returned future will complete with false as value, as will all further calls to moveNext.

Returns a future which completes when the cancellation is complete. This can be an already completed future if the cancellation happens synchronously.

Implementation
