BTW, Anthony, how packaged_task are related to the class thread_pool in n2276. I don't see any connection in the interface.
packaged_task is intended to be a building block for a simple thread pool. As such it will not be exposed to the user: just the future will be visible. See the intro to http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2008/n2709.html
Shouldn't submit_task return a packaged_task<T> template<typename F> packaged_task<typename result_of<F()>::type> submit_task(F const& f);
No. You don't want the task handle, but the future.
Shouldn't be also the case for the functions launch_in_pool and launch_in_thread?
