[section:WaitHandler Wait handler requirements]

A wait handler must meet the requirements for a [link
boost_asio.reference.Handler handler]. A value `h` of a wait handler class
should work correctly in the expression `h(ec)`, where `ec` is an lvalue of
type `const error_code`.

[heading Examples]

A free function as a wait handler:

  void wait_handler(
      const boost::system::error_code& ec)
  {
    ...
  }

A wait handler function object:

  struct wait_handler
  {
    ...
    void operator()(
        const boost::system::error_code& ec)
    {
      ...
    }
    ...
  };

A non-static class member function adapted to a wait handler using `bind()`:

  void my_class::wait_handler(
      const boost::system::error_code& ec)
  {
    ...
  }
  ...
  socket.async_wait(...,
      boost::bind(&my_class::wait_handler,
        this, boost::asio::placeholders::error));
