<p class="simpara">
Added the ability to customise the execution of a completion handler when
an operation completes immediately. This change adds the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">associated_immediate_executor</span></code> associator
trait, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">bind_immediate_executor</span></code>
function, and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">immediate_executor_binder</span></code>
adapter. When a supported operation completes immediately (that is, within
the initiating function) the associated immmediate executor is obtained,
and the completion handler is delivered through that executor as if by
using <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">asio</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">dispatch</span></code> on that executor. By default,
the immediate executor delivers the completion handler as if using <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">asio</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">post</span></code> via the operation's I/O executor.
For example, to allow a recursive call to the completion handler of an
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">async_read_some</span></code> operation,
we may specify that immediate completion is delivered via a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">system_executor</span></code>:<br>

Added user-defined literals for buffer types. The <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">_buf</span></code>
literal suffix, defined in namespace <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">asio</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">buffer_literals</span></code>,
may be used to create const_buffer objects from string, binary integer,

long. For example:<br>
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> using namespace asio::buffer_literals;
asio::const_buffer b1 = "hello"_buf;

asio::const_buffer b3 = 0x01234567'89abcdef'01234567'89abcdef_buf;

When registering a signal, it is now possible to pass flags that specify
the behaviour associated with the signal. These flags are specified as
an enum type in a new class, signal_set_base, and are passed to the underlying
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">sigaction</span><span class="special">()</span></code>

Added support for cancellation of individual asynchronous operations. Cancellation
is implemented by having each completion handler carry an associated <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">CancellationSlot</span></code>, a lightweight cancellation
channel that is specified through the new <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">associated_cancellation_slot</span></code>

In conjunction with the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">bind_cancellation_slot</span></code>

operations. However, it should be noted that these classes are the low-level
building blocks of cancellation, and most use cases should use a higher
