Interesting for sure. However, how is the execution back-end handled?
What would I have to provide to create a custom job dispatcher? For
example, I'd like to use the Vista ThreadPool as well as a custom one
for this; is this possible? There is a policy for scheduling, so I guess
the answer is yes, but I'd like to see what the requirements are.

Otherwise, this seems to be an interesting library, and I think Boost
should have such nice parallel programming utilities.
