// 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.

const T& message, std::size_t repeat_count,
CompletionToken&& token)
// The return type of the initiating function is deduced from the combination
// of CompletionToken type and the completion handler's signature. When the
// completion token is a simple callback, the return type is always void.
// In this example, when the completion token is asio::yield_context
// (used for stackful coroutines) the return type would be also be void, as
// there is no non-error argument to the completion handler. When the
// completion token is asio::use_future it would be std::future<void>.
//
// In C++14 we can omit the return type as it is automatically deduced from
// the return type of asio::async_initiate.
{
// In addition to determining the mechanism by which an asynchronous
// operation delivers its result, a completion token also determines the time
// when the operation commences. For example, when the completion token is a
// simple callback the operation commences before the initiating function
// returns. However, if the completion token's delivery mechanism uses a
// future, we might instead want to defer initiation of the operation until
// the returned future object is waited upon.
//
// To enable this, when implementing an asynchronous operation we must
// package the initiation step as a function object. The initiation function
// object's call operator is passed the concrete completion handler produced
// by the completion token. This completion handler matches the asynchronous
// operation's completion handler signature, which in this example is:
//
// void(std::error_code error)
//
// The initiation function object also receives any additional arguments
// required to start the operation. (Note: We could have instead passed these
// arguments in the lambda capture set. However, we should prefer to
// propagate them as function call arguments as this allows the completion
// token to optimise how they are passed. For example, a lazy future which
// defers initiation would need to make a decay-copy of the arguments, but
// when using a simple callback the arguments can be trivially forwarded
// straight through.)
