I'd love to contribute to this discussion but there's no firm ground to
stand on. What _are_ the concepts being discussed? I think I see

AsyncCall<R>

  AsyncCall(function<R ()> f);

  void operator()();

// effects: f();

  R result() const;

// if operator()() hasn't been invoked, throw;
// if operator()() is still executing, block;
// otherwise, return the value returned by f().

but I'm not sure.
