/**
 * Interception for {@link Fiber} context switch.
 *
 * <p>
 * Even though pipeline runs asynchronously, sometimes it's desirable
 * to bind some state to the current thread running a fiber. Such state
 * may include security subject (in terms of {@link AccessController#doPrivileged}),
 * or a transaction.
 *
 * <p>
 * This mechanism makes it possible to do such things, by allowing
 * some code to be executed before and after a thread executes a fiber.
 *
 * <p>
 * The design also encapsulates the entire fiber execution in a single
 * opaque method invocation {@link Work#execute}, allowing the use of
 * {@code finally} block.

     * <p>
     * While somewhat unintuitive,
     * this interception mechanism enables the interceptor to wrap
     * the whole fiber execution into a {@link AccessController#doPrivileged(PrivilegedAction)},

     *      {@link Work#execute(Object)}.
     * @return
     *      The opaque return value from the the {@link Work}. Simply return
