Here is another question/comment as I move through this implementation:

I see a strong need for future<void>.

If I build my multi-threaded task scheduling system around future, I will
likely have some invocations which do not return a value, but which I do want
to synchronize with, receive exceptions from, and possibly cancel().

Has there been any work/thoughts how to handle this?  Should future<void> be allowed?

Thanks for the other info Peter and your implementation - very useful.
