/**
 * Provides a generic and loose-coupled framework to execute one primary and multiple fallback
 * strategies for solving a given task.<p>
 * Basically, what would have been a nasty try-catch that's hard to separate and maintain:
 * <pre><code>
 * try {
 *     // doSomething() that may fail.
 * } catch (Exception ex) {
 *     try {
 *         // fallback1() that may fail.
 *     } catch (Exception ex2) {
 *         try {
 *             // fallback2() that may fail.
 *         } catch (Exception ex3) {
 *             // ...
 *         }
 *     }
 * }
 * </code></pre>
 * Now becomes:<br>
 * <pre><code>
 * FallbackStrategies
 *      .startWith(something)
 *      .thenTry(fallback1)
 *      .thenTry(fallback2)
 *      .execute();
 * </code></pre>
