From the 1.1 release notes:
Futures represent asynchronous computations. They are away to get
code to run in another thread, and obtain the result.
I know away is just a typo for a way, but be damned if that isn't
the best pun I've seen in a while.
Apologies if this seems like noise, but it brightened my last pre-
holiday work day, and I wanted to vote for not changing it, apart from
possibly adding a warning not to bank on them.
