The types would be definitely part of the public interface of
asio at least (i.e. error_code parameters on sync functions and
callback function objects), so I guess that would mean a review.

Is it feasible to get a review done in time for including this
stuff in 1.35? I want to avoid changing the asio public interface
after it goes out in a boost release, and switching error types
is likely to be a breaking change.

Cheers,
