Assuming that the action is asking for Gradle to do things on its behalf via an invocation API, we can throw the appropriate exceptions out of the invocation API. It makes sense to make the cancellation status available via this API as well. We also have the benefit of being able to drop the whole process on the floor if the action does not behave when the operation is cancelled.
