Cancellation Token observability in the Wait method

[brettcaswell]

Type of issue

Missing information

Description

Documentation describes how CancellationToken is observed when passed to Wait, but that seems to mean it is only observed in that initial call.

So, it remains unclear whether the CancellationToken, if timed out while a Wait is occurring, will increment the count or throw an exception in the context of the waiting thread/task.

For the sake of describing the behavior; Local console run indicates it does not observe nor throw cancellation token

tried for both Wait(CancellationToken) and WaitAsync(CancellationToken)
