+Task Cancellation
+-----------------
+`Cancelling <https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#task-cancellation>`_ an asyncio Task
+that is running a PyMongo operation is treated as a fatal interrupt. Any connections, cursors, and transactions
+involved in a cancelled Task will be safely closed and cleaned up as part of the cancellation. If those resources are
+also used elsewhere, attempting to utilize them after the cancellation will result in an error.
