/**
 * @class ACE_Future_Set
 *
 * @brief This class implements a mechanism which allows the values of
 * a collection of ACE_Future objects to be accessed by reader threads
 * as they become available.  The caller(s) provide the ACE_Future_Set
 * (i.e. the observer...) with the collection of ACE_Future objects
 * (i.e. the subjects...) that are to be observed using the
 * the ACE_Future_Set::insert() method.  The caller(s) may then iterate
 * over the collection in the order in which they become readable using
 * the ACE_Future_Set::next_readable() method.
