+;;; 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 the ERT tests and the code for futher details.
