/**
 * Interception for {@link Fiber} context switch.
 *
 * 
 * Even though pipeline runs asynchronously, sometimes it's desirable
 * to bind some state to the current thread running a fiber. Such state
 * may include security subject (in terms of {@link AccessController#doPrivileged}),
 * or a transaction.
 *
 * 

 * This mechanism makes it possible to do such things, by allowing
 * some code to be executed before and after a thread executes a fiber.
 *
 * 

 * The design also encapsulates the entire fiber execution in a single
 * opaque method invocation {@link Work#execute}, allowing the use of
 * {@code finally} block.

    /**
     * Allows the interception of the fiber execution.
     *
     * 

     * This method needs to be implemented like this:
     *
     * 
     * <R,P> R execute( Fiber f, P p, Work<R,P> work ) {
     *   // do some preparation work
     *   ...
     *   try {
     *     // invoke
     *     return work.execute(p);
     *   } finally {
     *     // do some clean up work
     *     ...
     *   }
     * }
     * 
     *
     * 
     * While somewhat unintuitive,
     * this interception mechanism enables the interceptor to wrap
     * the whole fiber execution into a {@link AccessController#doPrivileged(PrivilegedAction)},
     * for example.
     *
     * @param f
     *      {@link Fiber} to be executed.
     * @param p
     *      The opaque parameter value for {@link Work}. Simply pass this value to
     *      {@link Work#execute(Object)}.
     * @return
     *      The opaque return value from the the {@link Work}. Simply return
     *      the value from {@link Work#execute(Object)}.
     */
