 *
 * @li Constructs a function object handler of type @c Handler, initialized

 *
 * @li Constructs an object @c result of type <tt>async_result<Handler></tt>,
 * initializing the object as <tt>result(handler)</tt>.
 *
 * @li Obtains the handler's associated executor object @c ex by performing
 * <tt>get_associated_executor(handler)</tt>.
