/**
 * A {@link CompletableFuture} that implements {@link Runnable} to perform
 * a one-shot task that eventually completes this {@link CompletableFuture}.
 * Subclasses override {@link #run()} to implement the task.
 * Users of this class start the task execution via {@link #start()}.
 * Typical usage:
 * {@code
 * CompletableTask task = new CompletableTask<>()
 * {
 *     @Override
 *     public void run()
 *     {
 *         try
 *         {
 *             // Perform some task.
 *             T result = performTask();
 *
 *             // Eventually complete this CompletableFuture.
 *             complete(result);
 *         }
 *         catch (Throwable x)
 *         {
 *             completeExceptionally(x);
 *         }
 *     }
 * }
 *
 * // Start the task and then process the
 * // result of the task when it is complete.
 * task.start()
 *     .whenComplete((result, failure) ->
 *     {
 *         if (failure == null)
 *         {
 *             // The task completed successfully.
 *         }
 *         else
 *         {
 *             // The task failed.
 *         }
 *     });
 * }
 *
 * @param  the type of the result of the task
