// This composed operation shows composition of multiple underlying operations,
// using asio's stackless coroutines support to express the flow of control. It
// automatically serialises a message, using its I/O streams insertion
// operator, before sending it N times on the socket. To do this, it must
// allocate a buffer for the encoded message and ensure this buffer's validity
// until all underlying async_write operation complete. A one second delay is
// inserted prior to each write operation, using a steady_timer.

  // The return type of the initiating function is deduced from the combination
  // of CompletionToken type and the completion handler's signature. When the
  // completion token is a simple callback, the return type is always void.
  // In this example, when the completion token is boost::asio::yield_context
  // (used for stackful coroutines) the return type would be also be void, as
  // there is no non-error argument to the completion handler. When the
  // completion token is boost::asio::use_future it would be std::future<void>.
  //
  // In C++14 we can omit the return type as it is automatically deduced from
  // the return type of boost::asio::async_initiate.

  // tracking outstanding work against the I/O executors associated with the
  // operation (in this example, this is the socket's executor).
  //
  // The first argument to our lambda is a reference to the enclosing
  // intermediate completion handler. This intermediate completion handler is
  // provided for us by the boost::asio::async_compose function, and takes care
  // of all the details required to implement a conforming asynchronous
  // operation. When calling an underlying asynchronous operation, we pass it
  // this enclosing intermediate completion handler as the completion token.
  //

  // state machine to be started, as well as to allow the completion handler to
  // match the completion signature of both the async_write and
