Pre-existing, but I think this is actually wrong. Work is not the thing put in a Ref, but the type containing Work. As such self should be value containing Work. Could you please take a look @wedsonaf?

You're right, we need to do the same pointer arithmetic we do in work_func below to get to the right ptr.
Nice catch, @bjorn3
Now we don't have the type here anymore, so we either need to make Work generic or just store the offset is some field.

Another option would be to change the function signature to fn cancel<A: WorkAdapter>(obj: Ref<A::Target>) I think.

But that would be unsafe. Users could use the wrong adapter.

oops, sorry, I see now that it's passing the outer object.
