/// Provides waitable timer functionality.
/**
 * The basic_waitable_timer class template provides the ability to perform a
 * blocking or asynchronous wait for a timer to expire.
 *
 * A waitable timer is always in one of two states: "expired" or "not expired".
 * If the wait() or async_wait() function is called on an expired timer, the
 * wait operation will complete immediately.
 *
 * Most applications will use one of the boost::asio::steady_timer,
 * boost::asio::system_timer or boost::asio::high_resolution_timer typedefs.
 *
 * @note This waitable timer functionality is for use with the C++11 standard
 * library's @c &lt;chrono&gt; facility, or with the Boost.Chrono library.
 *
 * @par Thread Safety
 * @e Distinct @e objects: Safe.@n
 * @e Shared @e objects: Unsafe.
 *
 * @par Examples
 * Performing a blocking wait (C++11):
 * @code
 * // Construct a timer without setting an expiry time.
 * boost::asio::steady_timer timer(my_context);
 *
 * // Set an expiry time relative to now.
 * timer.expires_after(std::chrono::seconds(5));
 *
 * // Wait for the timer to expire.
 * timer.wait();
 * @endcode
 *
 * @par 
 * Performing an asynchronous wait (C++11):
 * @code
 * void handler(const boost::system::error_code& error)
 * {
 *   if (!error)
 *   {
 *     // Timer expired.
 *   }
 * }
 *
 * ...
 *
 * // Construct a timer with an absolute expiry time.
 * boost::asio::steady_timer timer(my_context,
 *     std::chrono::steady_clock::now() + std::chrono::seconds(60));
 *
 * // Start an asynchronous wait.
 * timer.async_wait(handler);
 * @endcode
 *
 * @par Changing an active waitable timer's expiry time
 *
 * Changing the expiry time of a timer while there are pending asynchronous
 * waits causes those wait operations to be cancelled. To ensure that the action
 * associated with the timer is performed only once, use something like this:
 * used:
 *
 * @code
 * void on_some_event()
 * {
 *   if (my_timer.expires_after(seconds(5)) > 0)
 *   {
 *     // We managed to cancel the timer. Start new asynchronous wait.
 *     my_timer.async_wait(on_timeout);
 *   }
 *   else
 *   {
 *     // Too late, timer has already expired!
 *   }
 * }
 *
 * void on_timeout(const boost::system::error_code& e)
 * {
 *   if (e != boost::asio::error::operation_aborted)
 *   {
 *     // Timer was not cancelled, take necessary action.
 *   }
 * }
 * @endcode
 *
 * @li The boost::asio::basic_waitable_timer::expires_after() function
 * cancels any pending asynchronous waits, and returns the number of
 * asynchronous waits that were cancelled. If it returns 0 then you were too
 * late and the wait handler has already been executed, or will soon be
 * executed. If it returns 1 then the wait handler was successfully cancelled.
 *
 * @li If a wait handler is cancelled, the boost::system::error_code passed to
 * it contains the value boost::asio::error::operation_aborted.

   * This function may be used to initiate an asynchronous wait against the
   * timer. It is an initiating function for an @ref asynchronous_operation,
   * and always returns immediately.
   *
   * For each call to async_wait(), the completion handler will be called
   * exactly once. The completion handler will be called when:
   *
   * @li The timer has expired.
   *
   * @li The timer was cancelled, in which case the handler is passed the error
   * code boost::asio::error::operation_aborted.
   *
   * @param token The @ref completion_token that will be used to produce a
   * completion handler, which will be called when the timer expires. Potential
   * completion tokens include @ref use_future, @ref use_awaitable, @ref
   * yield_context, or a function object with the correct completion signature.
   * The function signature of the completion handler must be:
   * @code void handler(
   *   const boost::system::error_code& error // Result of operation.
   * ); @endcode
   * Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or
   * not, the completion handler will not be invoked from within this function.
   * On immediate completion, invocation of the handler will be performed in a
   * manner equivalent to using boost::asio::post().
   *
   * @par Completion Signature
   * @code void(boost::system::error_code) @endcode
   *
   * @par Per-Operation Cancellation
   * This asynchronous operation supports cancellation for the following
   * boost::asio::cancellation_type values:
   *
   * @li @c cancellation_type::terminal
   *
   * @li @c cancellation_type::partial
   *
   * @li @c cancellation_type::total
