-/** Bind parameters to a completion handler, creating a new handler.
-
-    This function creates a new handler which, when invoked, calls
-    the original handler with the list of bound arguments. Any
-    parameters passed in the invocation will be forwarded in
-    the parameter list before the bound arguments.
-
-    The passed handler and arguments are forwarded into the returned
-    handler, whose associated allocator and associated executor will
-    will be the same as those of the original handler.
-
-    @par Example
-
-    This function posts the invocation of the specified completion
-    handler with bound arguments:
-
-    @code
-    template <class AsyncReadStream, class ReadHandler>
-    void
-    signal_unreachable (AsyncReadStream& stream, ReadHandler&& handler)
-    {
-        net::post(
-            stream.get_executor(),
-            bind_back_handler (std::forward<ReadHandler> (handler),
-                net::error::network_unreachable, 0));
-    }
-    @endcode
-
-    @param handler The handler to wrap.
-
-    @param args A list of arguments to bind to the handler.
-    The arguments are forwarded into the returned object.
