Can you elaborate Are you talking about the split between io_context and
executors?

This is surprising observation, because I have the exact opposite
experience. Can you elaborate?

When I compare my Asio and libuv wrappers, the libuv timer code is more
complex because the cancel operation needs to do a deferred deletion.
The rest of the wrappers are roughly comparable in complexity (if we
ignore all the type-casting needed by the libuv wrapper.)
