// This composed operation shows composition of multiple underlying operations.
// It automatically serialises a message, using its I/O streams insertion
// operator, before sending it N times on the socket. To do this, it must
// allocate a buffer for the encoded message and ensure this buffer's validity
// until all underlying async_write operation complete. A one second delay is
// inserted prior to each write operation, using a steady_timer.

// In this example, the composed operation's logic is implemented as a state
// machine within a hand-crafted function object.

  // conforming asynchronous operation. When calling an underlying asynchronous
  // operation, we pass it this enclosing intermediate completion handler
  // as the completion token.
  //
