> Currently, the method {{RpcService.scheduleRunnable}} does not return a
> control instance for the scheduled runnable. I think it would be good to
> return a {{ScheduledFuture}} with which one can cancel the scheduled runnable
> after it has been scheduled, e.g. a timeout registration which became
> obsolete. This API is also more in line with the {{ScheduledExecutorService}}
> where one also receives a {{ScheduledFuture}} after scheduling a runnable.
