I am still not there yet. To close the socket I need to keep a 
reference/shared_ptr to the connection somewhere. Which basically means I 
have two shared_ptrs. If a handler reports an error the connection needs to 
know something about the manager/state machine/whatever to tell it it is 
closing down, right?

Yes, after you close the socket, all the relevant handlers will be
invoked and disposed.
