This is a feature of asio::io_service.
By saying "functor" I mean the function-object that bind() returns.
This object stores your shared_ptr as a member-data. You pass this
object to io_serivce::post(), and when io_service is done with this
function-object, io_service removes it from the internal queue - so
the object is being destroyed with all its members.
