/**
 * Continuation interface is used to implement asynchronous post-processing,
 * the pattern that is also known as the
 * 
 * "Continuation-passing style".
 * 
 * Most commonly, a continuation can be used to encode a single program control
 * mechanism (i.e. a logical "return").  Advanced usages may also need to encode
 * multiple control mechanisms (e.g. an exceptional execution path).  For such
 * usages, each control path could be explicitly represented as a separate
 * Continuation, e.g.:
 * 
 * void doAsync(Continuation<Result> contNormal, Continuation<Exception> contExceptional);
 * 
 *
 * @param  the result type
 *
 * @author gg 02.17.2011
 * @deprecated use {@link com.oracle.coherence.common.base.Continuation} instead
