Capturing merge criteria for the Networking TS
US 10 and the elaboration in P0703R0 proposed removing the defer function from executors.
"We find the difference between post and defer to be too subtle and too executor-specific to be useful in the C++ standard. The confusion caused outweighs the performance gain in the Bloomberg committee's opinion. Additionally, it has not been demonstrated that performance gains from having a distinction between post and defer make a difference in any real-world applications."
The NB comment was rejected, with 'no consensus for change'
However the TS should provide opportunity to capture user feedback on this issue:
- Does the presence of the three methods cause confusion to users?
- Is there a performance gain (which is not simply an implementation artefact)?
- Are there other ways to achive a similar aim (eg other changes to the executor model)
