Nice catch and Thanks Vinícius for pointing that out.

I've considered bringing that at the top-level of the API as one is used
to with Asio, but the reason I didn't do it for now is that it requires
me alot more of implementation (that I'd like to make) for the
WebAssembly backend which hasn't asio.

One important point for me is that this high-level API forces an
asynchronous way of thinking your programs, because it is the only way
to have C++ that returns CPU time to environments like a Web browser
WASM implementation.

Cool I would enjoy it, I'll ping you back when I've integrated a
completion token in the API.
