/**
Y.soon accepts a callback function.  The callback function will be called
once in a future turn of the JavaScript event loop.  If the function
requires a specific execution context or arguments, wrap it with Y.bind.
Y.soon returns an object with a cancel method.  If the cancel method is
called before the callback function, the callback function won't be
called.

@method soon
@for YUI
@param {Function} callbackFunction
@return {Object} An object with a cancel method.  If the cancel method is
    called before the callback function, the callback function won't be
    called.
