The oldest solution in C/C++; pointers to?

eg;    vector<async<...> *>

smart_ptrs?

I can also vaguely guess why you would want vectors of async/synch but
vectors of actor? Isnt it a base and therefore vectors of base would involve
slicing?

Don't fully understand the problem space so I wont be embarrassed if these
are ignored.

Still learning Join. Its going to take a while. At language level it's quite 
simple
but the underlying model is less so and is "outside the box". The best I can 
do at
the moment is try to translate the examples into SDL. For reasons I have not
truly clarified this translation is only successful in one direction, i.e. 
Join ->
SDL. I suspect that the systems expressible in SDL may be a superset of
those expressable in Join. Or more Join-based code is required to support
the more complex SDL systems.

Its a bit of a struggle and I dont know that the comparison is even valid.

Cheers.
