Thank you for the explanation.

Is there any way to use a Boost.Asio thread as the background thread?
In other words, is it possible to write a async_ostream::service
implementation that wraps a Boost.Asio io_service? My initial impression
is that it is possible, but I am not sufficiently familiar with your
codebase to be certain.

On another note, you may consider using Boost.Chrono for time durations.
