These operators should create a new (composite)future, exposing the same
interface as the (simple) futures you're composing. This composite future
should handle the exceptions in a similar way as the embedded ones, i.e.
propagate the exceptions catched in the embedded futures to the caller, as
appropriate.

Also, does your implementation of operator|| allow for constructs like f1 ||
f2 || f3 ?
