+1.  I tried this once in the past (with an earlier version of Boost) 
but documentation on how to create from-scratch async operations was 
very poor.  It also required way too much boilerplate, from what I could 
see.  (And relies on using detail classes, which is usually a no-no for 
external code.)

I haven't really been following the standards track but I'm hopeful that 
the network/async/whatever TS ends up better documented. :)
