Naming futures

Status

Seems unlikely to be adopted. Doesn't feel right, and doesn't give any expanded abilities, such as the ability to name the future type.

Summary

The challenge is to be able to name the future that results from a particular async function. This can be used, for example, when naming future types, or perhaps as part of bounding futures.

It is likely that this problem is best solved in the context of the impl trait initiative.
