Beast experimental interfaces provide testing facilities which meet
the requirements of the following Asio concepts:

    SyncReadStream
    SyncWriteStream
    AsyncReadStream
    AsyncWriteStream

This is provided by the boost::beast::test::stream class, which works
with the test::fail_counter class to allow for automated failure
testing.

The Beast unit tests make heavy use of the test::stream class. Example:
