The ability to use a future with the asio::io_service in particular would be quite powerful.

I've attached a quick and dirty futures implementation that I wrote last year to demonstrate how futures and asio might fit together. Unlike the various futures proposals that are around, I prefer to keep the producer and consumer interfaces separate. Hence I have promise<T> (producer interface) and future<T> (consumer interface) -- these names are borrowed from the Alice programming language. Cheers, Chris
