Using libdispatch

[pfeatherstone]

First off, I'm really looking forward to seeing this in action!
When do you plan a 0.1 release?
Have you benchmarked your executor against libdispatch? According to Sean Parent, it's really hard to beat it given it's also hardware-aware.
Thank you.

Thanks for your interest. v0.1 is coming as soon as I complete the documentation effort and maybe introduce a few additional async primitives, such as heterogeneous multi-await which would enable timeouts.

As for libdispatch, I bet that the MacOS version (Grand Central Dispatch) is quite fast, as it has additional kernel support. I don't own a Mac but I think I will have access to one in the next few months, so at that point I could benchmark this against that. I'm also not sure about the support for coroutines in Apple Clang - so I don't know if all of the examples in this project repo will compile there. I can still test using regular functors of course.

I do see that there is a Linux port of libdispatch, so I will try to find some time to test that against a few of my benchmarks. Sounds like a fun weekend project :)
