It is one of those rare occasions that I agree with Vinnie.

If I were Chris K, I'd respond "If you want to use Boost.ASIO with the
standard C++ library, please go use Standalone ASIO. Boost.ASIO is
specifically ASIO targeting Boost".

I have that exact opinion regarding Outcome, incidentally, though I made
it a bit easier to bash Boost.Outcome with a stick into 100% not using
Boost than Chris K has with ASIO (which BTW is also possible, in theory).
