    Experimental API
    Represents a possibly asynchronous unit of work, called "Task".

    A Task is a function that takes an instance of Task.Complete and returns nothing.

    Complete is a handler that needs to be actively called to complete the Task.

    
     Callable<T> worker = ...;
     Future<T> result = Future.run(complete -> complete.with(Try.of(worker::call)));
