That's by design, but honestly I don't think anyone considered the case
where it's being canceled but has events already. For that case, I think
we should follow the usual logic of only returning an error (canceled)
if we don't have events, if we have events just return them. For
multi-shot, obviously also terminate, but same logic there.

Care to do a separate patch for that?
