 * <h3>Alternatives</h3>
 *
 * <h4>Frameworks</h4>
 *
 * <p>When chaining together a graph of asynchronous operations, you will often find it easier to
 * use a framework. Frameworks automate the process, often adding features like monitoring,

 *
 * <h4>Transforming</h4>
 *
 * To derive the next step by asynchronously applying a function to an input step's value, call
 * {@link #transform(ClosingFunction, Executor)} or {@link #transformAsync(AsyncClosingFunction,
 * Executor)} on the input step.
