Ron, this description is out of date.

Can you change it as follows please:

Description:

Boost.AFIO is a C++ library which lets you schedule an ordered 
dependency graph of file input/output operations to be executed 
asynchronously to the maximum capacity of your hardware. If you want 
to do portable asynchronous file i/o in C++, especially if you need 
to easily order issues of reads and writes, this is the correct 
library to be looking at. Boost.AFIO extends Boost.ASIO and provides 
an alternative way of programming with ASIO. Implementation of this 
first version has been kept as simple as possible (~ 1000 active LOC) 
at the cost of some performance, though with a good modern compiler 
you can expect 50-70% of the throughput of using raw Boost.ASIO at a 
latency of about 10,000 CPU cycles to get notified of the completion 
of an operation. This library was brought to Boost as part of Google 
Summer of Code 2013.

Thanks,
Niall
