Correct. I summarise everything you need to know about monad<T> on 
the first page of the tutorial 
https://boostgsoc13.github.io/boost.afio/doc/html/afio/quickstart/work
shop/naive.html.

They can be treated as if an always-ready shared_future<T>.

Looking over the references in the docs to APIBind, I agree I 
over-mention APIBind, and I have logged 
https://github.com/BoostGSoC13/boost.afio/issues/87 which is to 
remove all mentions of APIBind in the docs.
