Notes:

  * Futures are similar to delayed evaluation, i.e. delay/force is
    generalized to fork/join (and variants).  The idea is to model
    parallel value-oriented computations, but *not* communicating
    processes.

  * Futures are grouped; failure of one group member causes the whole
    group to be interrupted eventually.  Groups are block-structured.

  * Forked futures are evaluated spontaneously by a farm of worker
    threads in the background; join resynchronizes the computation and
    delivers results (values or exceptions).

  * The pool of worker threads is limited, usually in correlation with
    the number of physical cores on the machine.  Note that allocation
    of runtime resources is distorted either if workers yield CPU time
    (e.g. via system sleep or wait operations), or if non-worker
    threads contend for significant runtime resources independently.

  * Promised futures are fulfilled by external means.  There is no
    associated evaluation task, but other futures can depend on them
    as usual.
