Perhaps defer does a post unless the handler is a continuation? I think that would make sense.

And how would it know if the handler is a continuation?

I think defer imply that the provided handler is a continuation. There are similar mechanisms proposed in the Executor proposal: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2017/p0761r1.pdf (see page 6). Joël Lamotte
