Bug Report (or maybe feature request?)

When adding an onCancel handler to an AlertDialog, it should fire if the dialog is closed via the Escape key.

See here for a repro: https://codesandbox.io/s/adoring-meadow-7cl4c?file=/src/App.js

Open the dialog, click Cancel, dialog will close, you'll see 'Canceled' in the console. Open the dialog, press Escape key, dialog will close, no 'Canceled' in the console.
