/// 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
