Feature request: abortController + no-leaked-event-listener

[andybarron]

i've been using this pattern to clean up event listeners lately:

useEffect(() => {
  const abortController = new AbortController();
  const { signal } = abortController;

  window.addEventListener(
    "click",
    (event) => {
      doSomething();
    },
    { signal },
  );

  window.addEventListener(
    "resize",
    (event) => {
      doSomethingElse();
    },
    { signal },
  );

  return () => {
    abortController.abort();
  };
}, []);

it makes the cleanup function much smaller (and harder to mess up), plus it helps with type inference (i.e. you don't need to explicitly type your event handlers).

i can obviously just disable the no-leaked-event-listener rule, but it would be nice if it could detect this pattern with a heuristic, and maybe even alert you e.g. if you forget to pass signal or forget to call abort().
