Is there a way to delay the execution (not the completion) of a future, 
similar to the scheduleOnce method for actors? I tried this:

Future<String> delayedString = Patterns.after(new FiniteDuration(10, 
TimeUnit.SECONDS),
        system.scheduler(), system.dispatcher(), Futures.future(new 
Callable<String>() {
            public String call() throws Exception {
                System.out.println("Returning some string immediately");
                return "Some string.";
            }
        }, system.dispatcher()));

System.out.println("delayedString=" + Await.result(delayedString, 
Duration.Inf()));


But this calls the Callable immediately and only waits 10 seconds for the 
result to be returned.


Thanks, John
