Which I do already :)

Very good, i should have read the implementation more carefuly :)

I think special cases (such as aligned or shared-memory buffers) could be handled by implementation overloads (note: not function overloads in the public interface) based on the type of Mutable_Buffers::value_type or Const_Buffers::value_type.

That way individual streams can be optimised for specific buffer types without propagating additional overloads back through to the interface.

Well, i certanly didn't intend that the public interface be specialized for all kind of buffers. I think that the way asio works currently is fine. --- Giovanni P. Deretta
