This is something Joel tries to convince me of but I'm resisting. Could you shed some light on how events are almost equivalent to futures? Futures store the result of the asynchronous computation.
A shared_future is to a future as a win32 manual reset event is to a win32 auto reset event. The value transport in a future is of course illusory. Simply think purely in terms of future<void>. The key part, and where futures strongly resemble events, is in the signal wait-release part.
