 * Simple interface for allowing clients to pass an exception handler to a
 * service (e.g. to log the exception). This is particularly helpful if the
 * service executes on another, possibly inaccessible, thread.

 * Provisional API: This interface is part of an interim API that is still
 * under development and expected to change significantly before reaching
 * stability. It is available at this early stage to solicit feedback from
 * pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API
 * will almost certainly be broken (repeatedly) as the API evolves.
