Yes, for example the "fail fast" case
common to quick turnaround cycles: test, fix, repeat.

I have put another few hours on the project
to change it into a "fail fast" broken link test tool.
The "thread" and "executor" variant are most certainly broken:
a few hours does not seem enough to do "fail fast" with threads of
executors.

Using StructuredExecutor.ShutdownOnFailure from the docs was easy.
The general idea seems to be that of a "context" or "controller" object
which must be passed around.
In this exercise, using lambdas allowed capturing the handler, so passing
the handler around was easy.
I wonder what would be the impact if one had to create task classes.

.....or maybe reusing the StructuredExecutor is not the point, should one
create an "inner" StructuredExecutor instead?

Atte.
Pedro.
