/**
 * An `ExecutionContext` can execute program logic asynchronously,
 * typically but not necessarily on a thread pool.
 *
 * A general purpose `ExecutionContext` must be asynchronous in executing
 * any `Runnable` that is passed into its `execute`-method. A special purpose
 * `ExecutionContext` may be synchronous but must only be passed to code that
 * is explicitly safe to be run using a synchronously executing `ExecutionContext`.
 *
 * APIs such as `Future.onComplete` require you to provide a callback
 * and an implicit `ExecutionContext`. The implicit `ExecutionContext`
 * will be used to execute the callback.
 *
 * While it is possible to simply import
 * `scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext.Implicits.global` to obtain an
 * implicit `ExecutionContext`, application developers should carefully
 * consider where they want to set execution policy;
 * ideally, one place per application—or per logically related section of code—
 * will make a decision about which `ExecutionContext` to use.
 * That is, you will mostly want to avoid hardcoding, especially via an import,
 * `scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext.Implicits.global`.
 * The recommended approach is to add `(implicit ec: ExecutionContext)` to methods,
 * or class constructor parameters, which need an `ExecutionContext`.
 * 
 * Then locally import a specific `ExecutionContext` in one place for the entire
 * application or module, passing it implicitly to individual methods.
 * Alternatively define a local implicit val with the required `ExecutionContext`.
 *
 * A custom `ExecutionContext` may be appropriate to execute code
 * which blocks on IO or performs long-running computations.
 * `ExecutionContext.fromExecutorService` and `ExecutionContext.fromExecutor`
 * are good ways to create a custom `ExecutionContext`.
 *
 * The intent of `ExecutionContext` is to lexically scope code execution.
 * That is, each method, class, file, package, or application determines
 * how to run its own code. This avoids issues such as running
 * application callbacks on a thread pool belonging to a networking library.
 * The size of a networking library's thread pool can be safely configured,
 * knowing that only that library's network operations will be affected.
 * Application callback execution can be configured separately.

@implicitNotFound("""Cannot find an implicit ExecutionContext. You might pass
an (implicit ec: ExecutionContext) parameter to your method.

The ExecutionContext is used to configure how and on which
thread pools Futures will run, so the specific ExecutionContext
that is selected is important.

If your application does not define an ExecutionContext elsewhere,
consider using Scala's global ExecutionContext by defining
the following:

implicit val ec: scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext = scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext.global""")
trait ExecutionContext {

  /** Runs a block of code on this execution context.
   *
   *  @param runnable  the task to execute
   */
  def execute(runnable: Runnable): Unit

  /** Reports that an asynchronous computation failed.
   *
   *  @param cause  the cause of the failure
   */
  def reportFailure(@deprecatedName('t) cause: Throwable): Unit

  /** Prepares for the execution of a task. Returns the prepared
     *  execution context. The recommended implementation of
     *  `prepare` is to return `this`.
     *
     *  This method should no longer be overridden or called. It was
     *  originally expected that `prepare` would be called by
     *  all libraries that consume ExecutionContexts, in order to
     *  capture thread local context. However, this usage has proven
     *  difficult to implement in practice and instead it is
     *  now better to avoid using `prepare` entirely.
     *
     *  Instead, if an `ExecutionContext` needs to capture thread
     *  local context, it should capture that context when it is
     *  constructed, so that it doesn't need any additional
     *  preparation later.
