 *
 * @code boost::asio::spawn(my_strand, do_echo);
 *
 * // ...
 *
 * void do_echo(boost::asio::yield_context yield)
 * {
 *   try
 *   {
 *     char data[128];
 *     for (;;)
 *     {
 *       std::size_t length =
 *         my_socket.async_read_some(
 *           boost::asio::buffer(data), yield);
 *
 *       boost::asio::async_write(my_socket,
 *           boost::asio::buffer(data, length), yield);
