[Flag arguments](http://martinfowler.com/bliki/FlagArgument.html) are a
nasty code smell/anti-pattern. Please consider changing method to something
more descriptive with a flag argument such as ``forceStop(String caller)``.
The contrasting version of the method already exists on the interface so it
would be a compatible change.
