   * <p>Usage guidelines for this method:
   *
   * <ul>
   *   <li>Use this method only when calling an API that returns a {@link ListenableFuture} or a
   *       {@code ClosingFuture}. If possible, prefer calling {@link #catching(Class,
   *       ClosingFunction, Executor)} instead, with a function that returns the next value
   *       directly.

 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>If no backing thread factory is provided, a default backing thread factory is used as if by
 * calling {@code setThreadFactory(}{@link Executors#defaultThreadFactory()}{@code )}.
