“Leaf” futures often are, yes. This term (coming from like, a tree) is a tad more descriptive than “low level” IMHO. We have yet to achieve a fully agnostic solution everywhere. That’s part of what work in this area is trying to figure out, as I understand it. |

Yes, there have been a couple of ideas floating around, and a couple of older RFCs that needed more revision, such as boat's `#[global_executor]`, and discussion about an extension to task::Context that would allow futures to interact with their environment (timers, etc). There is a lot of work going on in this area, but nothing concrete yet.
