#' Check whether a future is resolved or not
#'
#' @param x A \link{Future}, a list, or an environment (which also
#' includes \link[listenv:listenv]{list environment}.
#'
#' @param \dots Not used.
#'
#' @return A logical of the same length and dimensions as `x`.
#' Each element is TRUE unless the corresponding element is a
#' non-resolved future in case it is FALSE.
#'
#' @details
#' This method needs to be implemented by the class that implement
#' the Future API.  The implementation should return either TRUE or FALSE
#' and must never throw an error (except for [FutureError]:s which indicate
#' significant, often unrecoverable infrastructure problems).
#' It should also be possible to use the method for polling the
#' future until it is resolved (without having to wait infinitely long),
#' e.g. `while (!resolved(future)) Sys.sleep(5)`.
