#9024: boost_asio_handler_invoke_helpers and family should not be in detail
------------------------------+----------------------------
 Reporter:  vinnie.falco@…    |      Owner:  chris_kohlhoff
     Type:  Feature Requests  |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined  |  Component:  asio
  Version:  Boost 1.54.0      |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:                    |
------------------------------+----------------------------
 Currently these important namespaces:
 {{{
 boost_asio_handler_invoke_helpers
 boost_asio_handler_alloc_helpers
 boost_asio_handler_cont_helpers
 }}}

 While located in the global namespace (for reasons explained in the
 corresponding header file), have include files that are located in
 '''boost/asio/detail'''. In theory, users should not rely on these
 routines because they are in a detail header.

 In practice however, it is impossible for a user to create a generic
 wrapper for an asio handler that obeys the same execution and safety
 guarantees of the original handler without having access to the helpers.

 I propose that these three headers be moved to '''boost/asio''' and made
 part of the official asio API:

 '''boost/asio/detail/handler_alloc_helpers.hpp'''

 '''boost/asio/detail/handler_cont_helpers.hpp'''

 '''boost/asio/detail/handler_invoke_helpers.hpp'''
