 * asynchronous operation;
 *
 * @li the initiating function return type; and
 *
 * @li how the return value of the initiating function is obtained.
 *
 * The trait allows the handler and return types to be determined at the point
 * where the specific completion handler signature is known.
 *
 * This template may be specialised for user-defined completion token types.
 * The primary template assumes that the CompletionToken is the completion
 * handler.
