I don't particularly like the implicit conversion from T to future<T>,
Err, I meant future<T> to T.
but that has absolutely nothing to do with not wanting to treat a future<T> as a placeholder. It's simply because the conversion can block, and thus produce unexpected behavior (an object appearing on the right hand side of an assignment stalling your program). The explicit future::get() at least gives a hint that something more than a quick conversion might be happening.
