That's disappointing. :-( Fwiw, as I remember it, the message pump implementation was easy enough. presumably because it doesn't require symmetric transfers. The thread pool implementation was hell.

Maybe I'm too pessimistic.

WG21 could realistically fix some issues as DRs before S/R is even implemented (and marked stable) anywhere (they have done so before for other features - notably std::format).

Thanks to the C++29 fix you could even remove hacks like `co_yield execution::with_error` as a non-exception-based abort-mechanism inside task.

But ... the problem with symmetric transfer is deeply rooted in the design of std::execution and would require large surgery ...
