N2178 doesn't recommend a specific set of cancelation points. I expect that 
the standard would need to define a list of mandatory C++ cancelation points 
(potentially covering more than just the threading portion) and a list of 
optional cancelation points (which would be similar to the POSIX list of 
optional cancelation points with a few subtractions such as fclose.)
