// A completion handler (i.e. a callback) with the specified signature.

// An object from which we obtain the result of the initiating function.

// This differs from our operation's signature in that it is also passed the
// number of bytes transferred as an argument of type std::size_t. We will
// adapt our completion handler to this signature by using std::bind, which
// drops the additional argument.
//
// However, it is essential to the correctness of our composed operation that
// we preserve the executor of the user-supplied completion handler. The
// std::bind function will not do this for us, so we must do this by first
// obtaining the completion handler's associated executor (defaulting to the
// I/O executor - in this case the executor of the socket - if the completion
// handler does not have its own) ...

completion.completion_handler, socket.get_executor());
