/**
 * A logical operation.
 * 
 * An operation encapsulates a logical piece of work, which will complete some time in the future.
 * It is similar to a {@link Promise} except that it does not produce a value.
 * It merely succeeds, or throws an exception.
 * 

 * The {@link #then(Block)} method allows specifying what should happen after the operation completes.
 * The {@link #onError(Action)} method allows specifying what should happen if the operation fails.
 * Like {@link Promise}, the operation will not start until it is subscribed to, via {@link #then(Block)} or {@link #then()}.
 * 

 * It is common for methods that would naturally return {@code void} to return an {@link Operation} instead,
 * to allow the method implementation to be effectively asynchronous.
 * The caller of the method is then expected to use the {@link #then(Block)} method to specify what should happen after the operation
 * that the method represents finishes.
