/**
 * The io_service::strand class provides the ability to post and dispatch
 * handlers with the guarantee that none of those handlers will execute
 * concurrently.
 *
 * @par Order of handler invocation
 * Given:
 *
 * @li a strand object @c s
 *
 * @li an object @c a meeting completion handler requirements
 *
 * @li an object @c a1 which is an arbitrary copy of @c a made by the
 * implementation
 *
 * @li an object @c b meeting completion handler requirements
 *
 * @li an object @c b1 which is an arbitrary copy of @c b made by the
 * implementation
 *
 * if any of the following conditions are true:
 *
 * @li @c s.post(a) happens-before @c s.post(b)
 * 
 * @li @c s.post(a) happens-before @c s.dispatch(b), where the latter is
 * performed outside the strand
 * 
 * @li @c s.dispatch(a) happens-before @c s.post(b), where the former is
 * performed outside the strand
 * 
 * @li @c s.dispatch(a) happens-before @c s.dispatch(b), where both are
 * performed outside the strand
 *   
 * then @c asio_handler_invoke(a1, &a1) happens-before
 * @c asio_handler_invoke(b1, &b1).
 * 
 * Note that in the following case:
 * @code async_op_1(..., s.wrap(a));
 * async_op_2(..., s.wrap(b)); @endcode
 * the completion of the first async operation will perform @c s.dispatch(a),
 * and the second will perform @c s.dispatch(b), but the order in which those
 * are performed is unspecified. That is, you cannot state whether one
 * happens-before the other. Therefore none of the above conditions are met and
 * no ordering guarantee is made.
 *
 * @note The implementation makes no guarantee that handlers posted or
 * dispatched through different @c strand objects will be invoked concurrently.
 *
 * @par Thread Safety
 * @e Distinct @e objects: Safe.@n
 * @e Shared @e objects: Safe.
 *
 * @par Concepts:
 * Dispatcher.
