/**
 * Operation result object with status: UNKNOWN, SUCCESS or FAIL.

 * This pattern is usually used in UI code if a method could resume invocation after some modal dialog:
 * <pre>{@code
 *     public OperationResult commit() {
 *         if (!valid()) {
 *             return OperationResult.fail(); // result is FAIL
 *         }
 *         // create undetermined result object
 *         UnknownOperationResult result = new UnknownOperationResult();
 *
 *         dialogs.createOptionDialog()
 *                     .withCaption("Question")
 *                     .withMessage("Are you sure?")
 *                     .withActions(
 *                             new DialogAction(DialogAction.Type.YES).withHandler(event -> {
 *                                     commitData(); // here we resume work after modal dialog
 *                                     result.success(); // send SUCCESS status to callbacks of the result
 *                                 }),
 *                             new DialogAction(DialogAction.Type.NO)
 *                                     .withHandler(event -> result.fail()) // result is FAIL
 *                     )
 *                     .show();
 *
 *         return result;
 *     }
 * }</pre>
 *
 * Callers can subscribe on success/fail of the returned operation:
 * <pre>{@code
 *     commit()
 *         .then(() -> {
 *             // on success
 *          })
 *         .otherwise(() -> {
 *             // on fail
 *          });
 * }</pre>
