[#class_packaged_task]
[section:packaged_task Template `packaged_task<>`]

A __packaged_task__ wraps a callable target that returns a value so that the
return value can be computed asynchronously.

Conventional usage of `packaged_task<>` is like this:

# Instantiate `packaged_task<>` with template arguments matching the signature
  of the callable. Pass the callable to the [link packaged_task_packaged_task
  constructor].
# Call [member_link packaged_task..get_future] and capture the returned
  [template_link future] instance.
# Launch a [class_link fiber] to run the new `packaged_task<>`, passing any
  arguments required by the original callable.
# Call [member_link fiber..detach] on the newly-launched `fiber`.
# At some later point, retrieve the result from the `future<>`.

This is, in fact, pretty much what [ns_function_link fibers..async]
encapsulates.
