/**
 * Type of callback called when the future returned by a CancelableCompleter
 * is canceled.
 */
typedef void CancelHandler();

/**
 * A way to produce [CancelableFuture] objects and to complete them later with
 * a value or error.
 *
 * This class behaves like the standard library [Completer] class, except that
 * its [future] getter returns a [CancelableFuture].
 *
 * If the future is canceled before being completed, the [CancelHandler] which
 * was passed to the constructor is invoked, and any further attempt to
 * complete the future has no effect.  For example, in the following code:
 *
 *     main() {
 *       var cc = new CancelableCompleter(() {
 *         print('cancelled'); // (2)
 *       });
 *       cc.future.then((value) {
 *         print('completed with value $value');
 *       }, onError: (error) {
 *         print('completed with error $error'); // (3)
 *       });
 *       cc.future.cancel(); // (1)
 *     }
 *
 * The call at (1) causes (2) to be invoked immediately.  (3) will be invoked
 * later (on a microtask), with an error that is an instance of
 * [FutureCanceledError].
 *
 * Note that since the closure passed to then() is executed on a microtask,
 * there is a short window of time between the call to [complete] and the
 * client being informed that the future has completed.  During this window,
 * any attempt to cancel the future will have no effect.  For example, in the
 * following code:
 *
 *     main() {
 *       var cc = new CancelableCompleter(() {
 *         print('cancelled'); // (3)
 *       });
 *       cc.future.then((value) {
 *         print('completed with value $value'); // (4)
 *       }, onError: (error) {
 *         print('completed with error $error');
 *       });
 *       cc.complete(100); // (1)
 *       cc.future.cancel(); // (2)
 *     }
 *
 * The call at (1) will place the completer in the "completed" state, so the
 * call at (2) will have no effect (in particular, (3) won't ever execute).
 * Later, (4) will be invoked on a microtask.
