-The `either` combinator creates a new future which either holds
-the result of this future or the argument future, whichever completes
-first, irregardless of success or failure. Here is an example in which
-the quote which is returned first gets printed:
-
-	val usdQuote = future {

-	  usd => "Value: " + usd + "$"

-	val chfQuote = future {

 The `andThen` combinator is used purely for side-effecting purposes.
 It returns a new future with exactly the same result as the current
 future, irregardless of whether the current future failed or not.
