Suspends the current Dex.Fiber and resumes when future has completed.
If future is completed when this function is called, the fiber will handle
the result immediately.
This function may only be called within a Dex.Fiber. To do otherwise will
return false and error set to Dex.Error.NO_FIBER.
It is an error to call this function in a way that would cause intermediate code to become invalid when resuming the stack. For example, if a foreach-style function taking a callback was to suspend from the callback, undefined behavior may occur such as thread-local-storage having changed.
true if the future resolved, otherwise false and error is set.

Dex.Future is the base class representing a future which may resolve with a value or reject with error at some point in the future.
It is the basis for libdex's concurrency and parallelism model.
Use futures to represent work in progress and allow consumers to build robust processing chains up front which will complete or fail as futures resolve or reject.
When running on a Dex.Fiber, you may use Dex.Future.await and similar functions to suspend the current thread and return upon completion of the dependent future.
