Hmm - I would find it useful if defer_point::defer would return an future which could be used to transfer results and/or exceptions back to the caller.
Yes, that would be very useful. Do you have some code to do that? Should we use code from the existing futures library in the vault? I haven't looked at the asio code for a while. Does it offer futures?
What about the Boost.Act SoC project? It's supposed to use "actions" instead of futures but they look to be a superset of futures anyways. IIRC SoC is comming to an end so hopefully we will see something soon. I know I've been waiting to play with it since I read about it.
