 * Usage samples:
 * 
 * <p>
 * Synchronous read without checked exceptions:
 * </p>
 * <pre>
 * Resource r = new SimpleReadGraphRequest&lt;Resource&gt;(session) {
 *     {@code @Override}
 *     public Resource run(Graph g) {
 *         Resource r = doSomethingThatMayFail();
 *         return r;
 *     }
 * }.sync();
 * </pre>
 * 
 * <p>
 * Synchronous read with a selected checked exception that may be thrown:
 * </p>
 * <pre>
 * Resource r = new SimpleReadGraphRequest&lt;Resource&gt;(session) {
 *     {@code @Override}
 *     public Resource run(Graph g) throws CheckedException {
 *         Resource r = doSomethingThatMayFailWithCheckedException();
 *         return r;
 *     }
 * }.sync(CheckedException.class);
 * </pre>
 * 
 * <p>
 * Asynchronous read with a completed() method for examining the result:
 * </p>
 * <pre>
 * Resource r = new SimpleReadGraphRequest&lt;Resource&gt;(session) {
 *     {@code @Override}
 *     public Resource run(Graph g) {
 *         Resource r = doSomethingThatMayFail();
 *         return r;
 *     }
 *     public void completed(Resource result) {
 *         // quickly dispatch the result somewhere, do nothing serious in this code.
 *     }
 * }.async();
 * </pre>
 * 
 * @param <T> the result type
