This may be a terminology thing - to me futures *are* just a nice way to
handle farming tasks out to worker threads or processes. You seem to see
them as something more comprehensive than that.

I agree the PEP should just target what the current implementation
provides and put whatever scope limitations are needed in the preamble
text to make that clear.

Cheers,
Nick.
