;;; Commentary:

;; Make a url-future (basically a defstruct):
;; (make-url-future :value (lambda () (calculation goes here))
;;   :callback (lambda (future) (use future on success))
;;   :errorback (lambda (future &rest error) (error handler)))

;; Then either call it with `url-future-call' or cancel it with
;; `url-future-cancel'.  Generally the functions will return the
;; future itself, not the value it holds.  Also the functions will
;; throw a url-future-already-done error if you try to call or cancel
;; a future more than once.

;; So, to get the value:
;; (when (url-future-completed-p future) (url-future-value future))

;; See `url-future-tests' and the code below for further details.
