Announce messages to screen reader users (ex. loading, loading complete messages in single page apps and async components, user feedback, notifications, etc) * Potentially the ability to abort a notification (ex. like `clearTimeout`). If there is any delay between the time when `ariaNotify` is called and when the announcement happens, a consuming application may want to abort a notification if it's no longer relevant. For example, due to the user changing views in a single page application.
