  /**
   * Returns a future that finishes when this step does. Calling {@code get()} on the returned
   * future returns {@code null} if the step is successful or throws the same exception that would
   * be thrown by calling {@code finishToFuture().get()} if this were the last step. Calling {@code
   * cancel()} on the returned future has no effect on the {@code ClosingFuture} pipeline.
