/** Bind parameters to a completion handler, creating a new handler.

    This function creates a new handler which, when invoked, calls
    the original handler with the list of bound arguments. Any
    parameters passed in the invocation will be subtituted for
    placeholders present in the list of bound arguments. Parameters
    which are not matched to placeholders are silently discarded.
    The passed handler and arguments are forwarded into the returned
    handler, which provides the same `io_context` execution guarantees
    as the original handler.

    Unlike `boost::asio::io_context::wrap`, the returned handler can
    be used in a subsequent call to `boost::asio::io_context::post`
    instead of `boost::asio::io_context::dispatch`, to ensure that
    the handler will not be invoked immediately by the calling
    function.

    Example:

    @code
    template<class AsyncReadStream, class ReadHandler>
    void
    signal_aborted(AsyncReadStream& stream, ReadHandler&& handler)
    {
        boost::asio::post(
            stream.get_executor(),
            bind_handler(std::forward<ReadHandler>(handler),
                boost::asio::error::operation_aborted, 0));
    }
    @endcode

    @param handler The handler to wrap.

    @param args A list of arguments to bind to the handler. The
    arguments are forwarded into the returned object.
