    [Library Element]
    [Description]
  ]
  [
    [
      `completion_signature` concept
    ]
    [
      Defines valid completion signature forms.
    ]
  ]
  [
    [
      `completion_handler_for` concept
    ]
    [
      Determines whether a completion handler is callable with a given set of
      completion signatures.
    ]
  ]
  [
    [
      [link asio.reference.async_result async_result] trait
    ]
    [
      Converts a completion signature and completion token into a concrete
      completion handler, and launches the operation.
    ]
  ]
  [
    [
      [link asio.reference.async_initiate async_initiate] function
    ]
    [
      Helper function to simplify use of the `async_result` trait.
    ]
  ]
  [
    [
      `completion_token_for` concept
    ]
    [
      Determines whether a completion token produces a completion handler for a
      given set of completion signatures.
    ]
  ]
  [
    [
      [link asio.reference.associator associator] trait
    ]
    [
      Automatically propagates all associators through layers of abstraction.
    ]
  ]
  [
    [
      [link asio.reference.associated_executor associated_executor] trait,
      `associated_executor_t` type alias, and [link
      asio.reference.get_associated_executor get_associated_executor] function
    ]
    [
      Defines an asynchronous agent’s associated executor.
    ]
  ]
  [
    [
      [link asio.reference.associated_allocator associated_allocator] trait,
      `associated_allocator_t` type alias, and [link
      asio.reference.get_associated_allocator get_associated_allocator] function
    ]
    [
      Defines an asynchronous agent’s associated allocator.
    ]
  ]
  [
    [
      [link asio.reference.associated_cancellation_slot
      associated_cancellation_slot] trait, `associated_cancellation_slot_t`
      type alias, and [link asio.reference.get_associated_cancellation_slot
      get_associated_cancellation_slot] function
    ]
    [
      Defines an asynchronous agent’s associated cancellation slot.
