Comment (by Konrad Zemek <konrad.zemek@…>):

 I've just noticed - it's not {{{wait_for}}} that locks, it's the
 {{{far_future}}}'s destructor that locks here, which is consistent with
 the documentation:

 > The returned futures behave as the ones returned from boost::async, the
 destructor of the future object returned from then will block.

 I will have to find a workaround, but it's not a bug.
