Hey Guodong,

Have you seen the comments on defer.hpp?

// The defer mechanism is very similar to the dispatch mechanism (see
// dispatch.hpp), however, rather than scheduling the method to get
// invoked, the defer mechanism returns a 'Deferred' object that when
// invoked does the underlying dispatch.

Make sense? Let me know if you need more explanation.
