 * A future that, if it fails, may optionally provide access to the cause of the failure.

 * this optimization, so there is no need to specialize methods to return or accept this type
 * instead of {@code ListenableFuture}.
 *
 * 
This class is GWT-compatible.

   * Usually returns {@code null} but, if this {@code Future} has failed, may optionally
   * return the cause of the failure. "Failure" means specifically "completed with an exception"; it
   * does not include "was cancelled." To be explicit: If this method returns a non-null value,
   * then:
   *
   * 

   *   {@code isDone()} must return {@code true}
   *   
{@code isCancelled()} must return {@code false}
   *   
{@code get()} must not block, and it must throw an {@code ExecutionException} with the
   *       return value of this method as its cause
   * 
   *
   * This method is {@code protected} so that classes like {@code
   * com.google.common.util.concurrent.SettableFuture} do not expose it to their users as an
   * instance method. In the unlikely event that you need to call this method, call {@link
   * InternalFutures#tryInternalFastPathGetFailure(InternalFutureFailureAccess)}.
