In fact, my interest is more academic than practical right now. And
in my case, I have a kind of co-operative (single threaded) context,
but with asynchronous callbacks from C++ coming after the lua chunk
has run; this is why I may still have indeterminate futures and a
desire to avoid blocking.

frankly- I fail to see the added value it brings (please,
enlighten..) :)
A few weeks back, I said to make a multicore Lua module, which runs
given functions truly in parallel, and it has future-like
evaluation (you get a handle to the results, and only reading h[1],
h[2], .. actually pend for that thread to finish).
Is this what you're looking for, if so please inform me about which
platform you run etc.? That is, if you wish to give the solution
(Lua Lanes is the name) a go. It's ...well... _almost_ ready. ((be
merciful, I'm moving soon..))
