As part of JEP 155 (Concurrency Updates) we are proposing to add
CompletableFuture. A Future that may be explicitly completed (setting
its value and status), and may include dependent functions and actions
that trigger upon its completion.

CompletableFuture, as usual, is coming from Doug Lea, with assistance
from members of the former JCP JSR-166 Expert Group. I have already
informally reviewed this. This is an official call for review before
finalizing the API for inclusion in jdk8.
Note:
I still need to make some additions to the test for better coverage,
but these should not be a blocker for this review.
