(constructor)	constructs the future object (public member function)
(destructor)	destructs the future object (public member function)
operator=	moves the future object (public member function)
share	returns a shared_future referring to the result associated to *this (public member function)
Getting the result
get	returns the result (public member function)
State
valid	checks if the result is available (public member function)
wait	waits for the result to become available (public member function)
wait_for	waits for the result, returns if it is not available for the specified timeout duration (public member function)
wait_until	waits for the result, returns if it is not available until specified time point has been reached (public member function)

[edit] Helper functions

future_category (C++11)	identifies the future error category (function)
