ASIO is set up to solve this -- you can write use_boost_future in the same
way that asio::use_future is written, but make it return a boost::future
instead.

You should be able to copy and paste the ASIO implementation of use_future,
and change the details to use boost::future instead.

A similar example can be found here, which adapts a custom future
implementation into Chris' std::executors reference implementation. This is
same author as ASIO and so it uses a similar technique. The code may even
work as is with just a change of the namespace from std::experimental to
boost::asio.

Good Luck!
