Comments should be wrapped after about 76 columns (unless there is some 
very good reason not to).

I'm not in love with this, because there's nothing here to prevent the 
work item from being queued again right after it is cancelled.  Patch 
3/3 in the series will fix this, but in the meantime this window will 
exist.

Maybe it would be better to merge the 3/3 patch with this one.  They are 
very closely related, after all, since the other patch addresses the 
matter of not allowing the work item to do anything bad at the wrong 
time.
