The old API only allowed cancelling property "get" inquiries and
subscription updates. However, there are use-cases for cancelling other
requests too. e.g. switching between views in a JUCE app might mean that
it's no longer necessary to subscribe to a particular property.

Cancelling subscriptions ends up being quite involved. Different
handling is needed depending on whether the subscription is cancelled
before or after the responder replies to the initial request.
In addition, the responder may ask the initiator to retry a subscription
begin request.
