For me, this smells a but like abusing try/catch, although I admit that
it also has some elegance.
Why not use an anonymous inner class like this:
cas.transaction(new Transaction<CAS>() {
void perform(CAS cas) {
// make modifications
}
});
Afaik this works also in Java versions prior to 7. It's the kind of thing
one did before lambda arrived.
