Re: Request For Context - about the 5.22->5.24 context stack rework

this "Future" stuff looks like "promises."

"promises" are still an ascending pattern; Perl, being deeply
singlethreaded, seems an awkward fit for the pattern outside of an explicit
concurrency system like POE or such, with its event loop.

Promises are fundamentally a way to organize a more maintainable
event-driven control flow.

Towards supporting promises in core, it seems like "Futures in core" could
get added on to the threading wish-list.
