[section:RangeConnectHandler Range connect handler requirements]

A range connect handler must meet the requirements for a [link
asio.reference.Handler handler]. A value `h` of a range connect handler class
should work correctly in the expression `h(ec, ep)`, where `ec` is an lvalue of
type `const error_code` and `ep` is an lvalue of the type `Protocol::endpoint`
for the `Protocol` type in the corresponding `connect()` or async_connect()`
function.

[heading Examples]

A free function as a range connect handler:

  void connect_handler(
      const asio::error_code& ec,
      const asio::ip::tcp::endpoint& endpoint)
  {
    ...
  }

A range connect handler function object:

  struct connect_handler
  {
    ...
    template <typename Range>
    void operator()(
        const asio::error_code& ec,
        const asio::ip::tcp::endpoint& endpoint)
    {
      ...
    }
    ...
  };

A lambda as a range connect handler:

  asio::async_connect(...,
      [](const asio::error_code& ec,
        const asio::ip::tcp::endpoint& endpoint)
      {
        ...
      });

A non-static class member function adapted to a range connect handler using
`std::bind()`:

  void my_class::connect_handler(
      const asio::error_code& ec,
      const asio::ip::tcp::endpoint& endpoint)
  {
    ...
  }
  ...
  asio::async_connect(...,
      std::bind(&my_class::connect_handler,
        this, std::placeholders::_1,
        std::placeholders::_2));

A non-static class member function adapted to a range connect handler using
`boost::bind()`:

  void my_class::connect_handler(
      const asio::error_code& ec,
      const asio::ip::tcp::endpoint& endpoint)
  {
    ...
  }
  ...
  asio::async_connect(...,
      boost::bind(&my_class::connect_handler,
        this, asio::placeholders::error,
        asio::placeholders::endpoint));
