The pattern used in Asio is to have both synchronous and asynchronous
functions:

   return_value foo(args);
   return_value foo(args, error_code);
   void async_foo(args, void (*)(return_value, error_code));

If async_foo supports boost::asio::async_result, then the coroutine and
fiber support can be implemented seperately from your library.
