+/// Default invoke function for handlers.
+/**
+ * Completion handlers for asynchronous operations are invoked by the
+ * io_service associated with the corresponding object (e.g. a socket or
+ * deadline_timer). Certain guarantees are made on when the handler may be
+ * invoked, in particular that a handler can only be invoked from a thread that
+ * is currently calling @c run() on the corresponding io_service object.
+ * Handlers may subsequently be invoked through other objects (such as
+ * io_service::strand objects) that provide additional guarantees.
+ *
+ * When asynchronous operations are composed from other asynchronous
+ * operations, all intermediate handlers should be invoked using the same
+ * method as the final handler. This is required to ensure that user-defined
+ * objects are not accessed in a way that may violate the guarantees. This
+ * hooking function ensures that the invoked method used for the final handler
+ * is accessible at each intermediate step.
+ *
+ * Implement asio_handler_invoke for your own handlers to specify a custom
+ * invocation strategy.
+ *
+ * This default implementation is simply:
+ * @code
+ * function();
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * @par Example
+ * @code
+ * class my_handler;
+ *
+ * template <typename Function>
+ * void asio_handler_invoke(Function function, my_handler* context)
+ * {
+ * context->strand_.dispatch(function);
+ * }
+ * @endcode
