My understanding from the documentation is that using Http.singleRequest 
will fail requests when in a backpressure situation, while using a MergeHub 
with the flow will in fact backpressure. Is that a correct understanding?

You could just use Http.singleRequest in that case because it implements 
almost the same kind of logic and also uses the same pool as superPool.

Thanks for the great suggestions - I eventually came to the "custom tuple" 
solution myself and it seems to work well. 

As for the issue of complexity, it's actually not as complex as it sounds. 
I'm using Http().superPool() to make api requests and I wanted to avoid 
having to create a separate stream for every single iteration of api 
request when the only thing that changed was the Unmarshaller. Instead of 
materializing multiple streams where the only thing that changed was the 
Sink, I just created one stream where the Sink.foreach(...) take the 
Unmarshaller function and resolves the Promise.

Hi Jeff,

your API seems quite complex. I don't know the purpose of it so I cannot 
suggest anything but I'd try to simplify. :)

That said, your problem seems to be that you cannot write a concrete type 
that would express the dependency between the two components of the tuple 
`(RequestBuilder, Promise[???])`. There are two ways to solve it:

1) make `Out` a type parameter and convert `sink` to a `def sink[Out]`, 
then you can use the tuple `(RequestBuilder[Out], Promise[Out])`
2) create your custom tuple type that allows to express the dependency:

case class BuilderWithPromise[O](builder: RequestBuilder { type Out = O }, 
promise: Promise[O])

and then use it as MergeHub.source[BuilderWithPromise[_]]

But I can only repeat that getting rid of the dependent types if possible 
is usually the best solution ;)
