     19 // This Future differs from the java.util.concurrent.Future in these aspects:
     20 //
     21 // - Once cancel() is called, isCancelled() always returns true. It is a sticky
     22 //   flag used to communicate to the implementation. The implmentation may
     23 //   ignore that flag. Regardless whether the Future is cancelled, a return
     24 //   value will be provided to get(). The implementation may choose to return
     25 //   null if it finds the Future is cancelled.
     26 //
     27 // - get() does not throw exceptions.
