count in the promise would require the future's destructor to do a cancel() to be at all useful. That causes problems for me, because I don't want method requests to be cancelled just because the returned future was ignored and went out of scope.
Yes, I considered the same last-future-out-of-scope-cancels behavior, and also decided against it for the same reason. Also, since any existing promise can be used to obtain more future's, having no future instances for a given promise does not necessarily mean there won't be future instances later. Independent validation is nice, I'm glad we're working in the same space. -braddock
