As I said in another reply, I did find a need to do this change to
eliminate code bloat with several compilers. As an example, Borland C++
5.6.4 seems to add approximately 100 bytes to the executable for each
asynchronous call if a virtual function is used in win_iocp_operation.
As the change didn't impact the public interface of asio, it seemed
like a win.

Cheers,
Chris
