All Known Subinterfaces:

RunnableScheduledFuture<V>, ScheduledFuture<V>
```
public interface Delayed
extends Comparable<Delayed>
```
A mix-in style interface for marking objects that should be acted upon after a given delay.
An implementation of this interface must define a compareTo method that provides an ordering consistent with its getDelay method.
