ProxyLookup does not handle registering listener on result (source code does assert false;)
.... maybe it is ok (it is used and it works ...)
AbstractLookup seems to be ok ... (source based affirmation, to be proved by usage)
......... ok, but only if we pass an Executor to the Content constructor (new InstanceContent(RequestProcessor.getDefault()))
......... no! Executor is only used to replace sequential execution

===>>>>> LookupResult must be prevented from garbage collection !!!! (a local final variable used in the its listener is insufficient)
