can you consider the ability of a shared_packaged_task to return a
shared_future?
You can move a unique_future<T> into a shared_future<T>, which can
then be stored in a container.
boost::packaged_task<int> pt(some_func);
boost::shared_future<int> f=pt.get_future(); // move-assign
Excelent. I like this integration.
