Are fibers just inherently threads? I read that they have all of the member functions that boost.thread offers. The async functionality looks very useful . At the very least, a promising extension of boost.thread.
fibers != threads, 'In computer science <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_science>, a *fiber* is a particularly lightweight thread of execution<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_of_execution> .' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber_(computer_science)
