 *
 * The contract for scheduling work on an executor is that it never blocks the caller.  It doesn't
 * necessarily need to offer forward progress guarantees, but actual calls to schedule() should not
 * deadlock.
 *
 * If you manage the lifetime of your executor using a shared_ptr, you can begin a chain of
 * execution like this:
 *      ExecutorFuture(myExec)
 *          .then([] { return doThing1(); })
 *          .then([] { return doThing2(); })
 *          ...

     * * Post-shutdown, on the execution context of the calling code.

     * The Task will be passed a Status schedStatus that is either:

     * * isCancelationError(schedStatus.code()) if the function is run in an inline context
