If a capability accepts a callback as a method param, such as for 
subscriptions, then it seems there are (at least) two possible ways to 
handle cancellation:

a) return a handle that can be dropped to cancel the subscription

interface Foo {
  subscribe (callback :Callback) -> (handle :Capability);
}

or b)

fulfil the promise returned by the method call at EOF, and drop the promise 
to cancel the subscription.

interface Foo {
  subscribe (callback :Callback);
}

I'm curious to understand fully the pros and cons of each approach, 
especially when the callback is a ByteStream, where it seems natural to 
return the pumpTo promise as the result of the subscribe call's 
implementation?

Cheers,
Vaci
