New blocks: "stop asking" and "ask in progress?"
Support for the first one.
No support for the last one as for reasons above.

1.support!
2. I'm gonna go against consensus and support. as OP said, the new block will say false if stop is pressed and then the block is run. the workaround will say true in this condition.

if you put:
ask [] and wait//with no text the the string.Then it will still ask so that's why I support the first one.

support for both
and guys the second one doesn't have all that simple of a workaround, because it requires something like this:
thats a 7-block workaround all things considered and without custom blocks its even harder
and guys the second one doesn't have all that simple of a workaround, because it requires something like this:
define ask (string) and wait
set [asking v] to [true]
ask (string) and wait
set [asking v] to [false]
define stop asking
set [asking v] to [false]
stop asking :: sensing
<(asking) = [true]>
thats a 7-block workaround all things considered and without custom blocks its even harder

stop asking::sensing
You know you'd need two separate scripts just for this to work, right?

See above post
ask [] and waitThis block, right here. Any blocks under it WILL NOT RUN until it has finished asking.
Therefore, to stop it you'll need a separate script which contains that block.

adding to above post by Alberknyis
not even the “stop all other scripts in sprite” block works against the ask block dialog. maybe that should be fixed?

Ahh ok, I understand. Naturally, yes.See above postask [] and waitThis block, right here. Any blocks under it WILL NOT RUN until it has finished asking.

Support for the first, but I'm not sure about the second one. It has such a simple workaround.

What about:
stop saying :: looks

stop thinking :: looks
thinking? :: boolean looks // also maybe sensing

“Say nothing” actually existed at one point but it was removed due to it's really simple workaround: Support all
What about:stop saying :: looks
saying? :: boolean looks // maybe sensing
stop thinking :: looks
thinking? :: boolean looks // also maybe sensing
say []//Leave empty.

It's a nice idea but for some reason I don't feel like the Scratch Team is going to take you up on it! I think the ask button is just supposed to be a very basic introduction to the user input sort of thing and that it probably won't be expanded upon much further.

For “stop saying” or “say nothing” you just need to use this block: Support all
What about:stop saying :: looks
saying? :: boolean looks // maybe sensing
stop thinking :: looks
thinking? :: boolean looks // also maybe sensing
say[]//Empty text box.
