/** Result of some (probably) asynchronous operation in the SimGrid kernel
 *
 * @ref simgrid::simix::Future and @ref simgrid::simix::Future provide an
 * abstration for asynchronous stuff happening in the SimGrid kernel. They
 * are based on C++1z futures.
 *
 * The future represents a value which will be available at some point when this
 * asynchronous operaiont is finished. Alternatively, if this operations fails,
 * the result of the operation might be an exception.
 *
 *  As the operation is possibly no terminated yet, we cannot get the result
 *  yet. Moreover, as we cannot block in the SimGrid kernel we cannot wait for
 *  it. However, we can attach some code/callback/continuation which will be
 *  executed when the operation terminates.
 *
 *  Example of the API (`simgrid::kernel::createProcess` does not exist):
 *  <pre>
 *  // Create a new process using the Worker code, this process returns
 *  // a std::string:
 *  simgrid::kernel::Future<std::string> future =
 *     simgrid::kernel::createProcess("worker42", host, Worker(42));
 *  // At this point, we just created the process so the result is not available.
 *  // However, we can attach some work do be done with this result:
 *  future.then([](simgrid::kernel::Future<std::string> result) {
 *    // This code is called when the operation is completed so the result is
 *    // available:
 *    try {
 *      // Try to get value, this might throw an exception if the operation
 *      // failed (such as an exception throwed by the worker process):
 *      std::string value = result.get();
 *      XBT_INFO("Value: %s", value.c_str());
 *    }
 *    catch(std::exception& e) {
 *      // This is an exception from the asynchronous operation:
 *      XBT_INFO("Error: %e", e.what());
 *    }
 *  );
 *  </pre>
 *
 *  This is based on C++1z @ref std::future but with some differences:
 *
 *  * there is no thread synchronization (atomic, mutex, condition variable,
 *    etc.) because everything happens in the SimGrid event loop;
 *
 *  * it is purely asynchronous, you are expected to use `.then()`;
 *
 *  * inside the `.then()`, `.get()` can be used;
 *
 *  * `.get()` can only be used when `.is_ready()` (as everything happens in
 *     a single-thread, the future would be guaranted to deadlock if `.get()`
 *     is called when the future is not ready);
 *
 *  * there is no future chaining support for now (`.then().then()`);
 *
 *  * there is no sharing (`shared_future`) for now.
