    // addListener says that listeners execute 'immediate' if the future isDone(). However, our
    // protocol for completing a future is to assign the value field (which sets isDone to true) and
    // then to release waiters, followed by executing afterDone(), followed by releasing listeners.
    // That means that it is possible to observe that the future isDone and that your listeners

   * comparable.

   * <p>This method is safe to use even when {@code elements} is a synchronized or concurrent
   * collection that is currently being modified by another thread.
