I would like to use `CancellationToken` from .net core.  
I passed it instead `IJobCancellationToken` like this:

```
public void LongRunningMethod(CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
    for (var i = 0; i < Int32.MaxValue; i++)
    {
        cancellationToken.ThrowIfCancellationRequested();

        Thread.Sleep(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1));
    }
}

```

start  
`BackgroundJob.Enqueue(() =>LongRunningMethod(CancellationToken.None));`

and it works fine, but i can’t stop this job using this:

`BackgroundJobClient.Delete("this_job_id")`

Is there any way to do this?

There’s currently an open PR, but it is not merged yet. You can checkout and build it yourself though.
