Don't know. I have the impression that it's complete enough to give you
the same "power" as the callback argument.
I.e. instead of (funcall BACKEND CALLBACK)
you (eldoc-future-set-callback (funcall BACKEND) CALLBACK) and instead
of (funcall CALLBACK VALUE) you (eldoc-future-set-value FUT VALUE).

AFAIK this is orthogonal to the technique we use for the backend to run
eldoc's callback code.

I'm not familiar with that package, so I can't judge. It might be an
even better option, indeed.

The use of futures has been discussed forever in the context of
several packages. That's why at this stage, I think either we decide to
drop the idea or to start using it.
I'm OK with either option.
