/**
 * The asio::thread class implements the smallest possible subset of the
 * functionality of boost::thread. It is intended to be used only for starting
 * a thread and waiting for it to exit. If more extensive threading
 * capabilities are required, you are strongly advised to use something else.
 *
 * @par Thread Safety
 * @e Distinct @e objects: Safe.@n
 * @e Shared @e objects: Unsafe.
 *
 * @par Example
 * A typical use of asio::thread would be to launch a thread to run an
 * io_context's event processing loop:
 *
 * @par
 * @code asio::io_context io_context;
 * // ...
 * asio::thread t(boost::bind(&asio::io_context::run, &io_context));
 * // ...
 * t.join(); @endcode
