Improvements to std::future and Related APIs

by Niklas Gustafsson, Artur Laksberg, Herb Sutter, Sana Mithani

Excerpt:

This proposal is an evolution of the functionality of std::future/std::shared_future. It details additions which can enable wait free compositions of asynchronous operations.

This document supersedes N3784. Several typos in the code samples have been fixed, and a small editorial change made in the Technical Specification section.
