/**
 * A marker interface indicating that a scalar, constant value
 * is held by the implementing reactive type which can be
 * safely extracted during assembly time can be used for
 * optimization.
 * 
 * Implementors of {@link #call()} should not throw any exception.
 * 

 * Design note: the interface extends {@link Callable} because if a scalar
 * is safe to extract during assembly time, it is also safe to extract at
 * subscription time or later. This allows optimizations to deal with such
 * single-element sources uniformly.
