Righty right. future::then is not such a minefield because the payload
is in the shared state of the future,
and it's just moved/shared to what the .then handler will receive, so
nothing can dangle there.

With coroutines, you need to be a tad more careful. You said you don't
want more allocations, but, well,
to avoid dangling, you necessarily need to allocate the things that
would otherwise dangle.
