I'd ask a simpler question: what use case is there for configuring
multiple concurrent async reads on the same stream?

On *files*, yes this makes sense. But on sockets/pipes etc, the use
cases are not many (possibly with UDP yes, otherwise no).

If you want to queue up multiple reads at a time (data to different buffers), having the framework handle it (ASIO or OS) is easier than writing that portion yourself.
