/**
 * When a {@link Node} execution does not immediately return a result it may
 * entitle an external system to perform some actions asynchronously. The action
 * to be done is described by a work item (e.g. wait for a timer or an incoming
 * signal, call a method on a bean or ask a human to perform a task).
 * 
 * Another way of describing a {@link GraphWorkItem} is: A work item is a handle/reference
 * to an uncompleted node execution in order to complete it at some future point in time.
