public interface Future

Common interface for both bound values and unbound cells. Any class implementing Future can be forced, which will have one of two results: If the object is ready, it returns with the appropriate entity (a Callable or a Value). If it is not ready, it returns null. As an additional effect, the provided token is added to some wait set and will be activated when this object makes progress towards being bound.
