Bug Description
Since VibratePattern calls can't be cancelled, clients that need to be able to end a loop abruptly have to manage the loop on their own and call VibratePattern with a repeat count of 1.
Use case: a wakeup alarm notification should be accompanied by haptic feedback which should stop when the notification is dismissed.
Calling VibratePattern() with a count to repeat indefinitely would be better for bus traffic, but is impossible because the repeating vibration would continue after the user's dismissed the alarm.
