The reason why people, including me, are sceptical against is because we
don't know what the added value will be. We asked you several times about
performance results etc to proof your claims. Why should it be bad to have
basic building blocks for asynchronous result transportation? This is of
course something to strive for, as long as it brings clear advantages over
what std implementations provide!

Do you really think though it will be easier if you label your stuff with
something that it clearly isn't?
