Immediate bake cancelling

I sometimes make some huge quality settings that are just too much for my machine. When hitting "Esc" the baking process continues until the last frame is finished. It sometimes takes a lot of time and killing the Blender process would make me lose the unsaved changes. Would be nice if the baking process can be canceled without the last frame finishing.

Blender autosavees frequently. I think there should be an autosave for any bake/render command. And bake cancelling should be handled the same way as simulation cancelling, which is too hard IMO. Often I hit ESC over and over again just to be sure Blender got my command.
