Input Parameters:
• Lambda function: The lambda function on map()/bind() takes a
future<t>::value_type. The lambda
function on catch_error() takes an exception_ptr. Both could return whatever
type. This makes propagating
exceptions straightforward. This approach also simplifies the chaining of
continuations.
