TickerFuture class

An object representing an ongoing Ticker sequence.

The Ticker.start method returns a TickerFuture. The TickerFuture will complete successfully if the Ticker is stopped using Ticker.stop with the canceled argument set to false (the default).

If the Ticker is disposed without being stopped, or if it is stopped with canceled set to true, then this Future will never complete.

This class works like a normal Future, but has an additional property, orCancel, which returns a derivative Future that completes with an error if the Ticker that returned the TickerFuture was stopped with canceled set to true, or if it was disposed without being stopped.

To run a callback when either this future resolves or when the ticker is canceled, use whenCompleteOrCancel.
