  // - the CompletionToken type,
  // - the completion handler signature, and
  // - the asynchronous operation's initiation function object.
  //
  // When the completion token is a simple callback, the return type is void.
  // However, when the completion token is boost::asio::yield_context (used for
  // stackful coroutines) the return type would be std::size_t, and when the
  // completion token is boost::asio::use_future it would be std::future<std::size_t>.
  // When the completion token is boost::asio::deferred, the return type differs for
  // each asynchronous operation.

  // In C++14 we can omit the return type as it is automatically deduced from
  // the return type of our underlying asynchronous operation.
