Research direction

Start with the documented unwrap declarations and include/boost/thread/future.hpp around line 1887. Check how future<future>::unwrap is defined and whether the corresponding future<shared_future> case is handled; done means the documented unwrap member exists and behaves consistently for that type.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The docs say:

Member function unwrap() EXTENSION
template <typename R2>
 future<R2>  future< future<R2>>::unwrap();  // EXTENSION
template <typename R2>
 boost::shared_future<R2>  future< boost::shared_future<R2>>::unwrap();  // EXTENSION

thread.hpp:1887 appears to define the future<future<R2>>::unwrap, but it doesn't appear that there's a specialization for future<shared_future<R2>> to provide the documented unwrap method.
