The alternative is reimplement QThread::create in a way that doesn't 
need async/future at all. It's just kind of annoying that that's the 
only (?) building block provided by the stdlib to apply decay-copy, call 
it in the new thread in a type-erased way, destroy the data when done, etc.

I'm not exactly volunteering. Also, it can be done after 6.0 without 
breaking ABI (it just depends on one exported symbol, the rest is inline).

Thanks,
