> The members of {{Future<{void,Status}>}} differ from other instantiations of {{Future<>}} since they contain only a Status and not a value. This is reasonable, however it complicates generic usage of {{Future<>}} since special cases must be added for the different interfaces. IMHO it'd be acceptable to provide an empty "ValueType" (or maybe {{std::nullptr_t}} to follow the precedent of Datum's default state) for those specializations to keep the interface generic.
