Pre-Lenexa Summary

This issue relates to the return value of functions like run(), poll(), etc.

Need guidance from LEWG on whether size_t is the right type to use for counting, keeping in mind that the number of executed handlers could be large. The comment in Cologne was that size_t is for sizes, and maybe that is not appropriate here.
