template < class T > future<T> make_exceptional_future(std::exception_ptr ex); | (1) | (concurrency TS)
template < class T, class E > future<T> make_exceptional_future(E ex); | (2) | (concurrency TS)

1) Creates a shared state of type `T` that is immediately ready and stores the exception pointer `ex`, then return a future associated with that shared state, as if by promise<T> p; p.set_exception(ex); return p.get_future();. The behavior is undefined if `ex` is null.
2) Creates a shared state of type `T` that is immediately ready and stores an exception pointer created from `ex`, then return a future associated with that shared state, as if by promise<T> p; p.set_exception(std::make_exception_ptr(ex)); return p.get_future();

### Return value

A `future` object associated with the shared state that was created.
