/// A @ref completion_token type that causes an asynchronous operation to return

/**
 * The use_future_t class is a completion token type that is used to indicate
 * that an asynchronous operation should return a std::future object. A
 * use_future_t object may be passed as a completion token to an asynchronous
 * operation, typically using the special value @c boost::asio::use_future. For
 * example:
 *
 * @code std::future<std::size_t> my_future
 *   = my_socket.async_read_some(my_buffer, boost::asio::use_future); @endcode
 *
 * The initiating function (async_read_some in the above example) returns a
 * future that will receive the result of the operation. If the operation
 * completes with an error_code indicating failure, it is converted into a
 * system_error and passed back to the caller via the future.
