Ah yes, that seems to do the trick. That works well for a limited `for`-loop. Would you know how to properly kill it assuming the `for`-loop is replaced by a `while flag`-loop ? I found [Stop/terminate a (sub)task started with @async - #16 by attdona](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/stop-terminate-a-sub-task-started-with-async/32193/16) but I could not scope things properly.
