I think ideally a (network) stream API would thus be layered on top of asio. In fact, if the low level 'transport protocol' is being made a policy, the stream API could be parametrized to only depend on asio if async operations are requested.
However, many of us desire synchronous handling, but want nothing to do with sockets encapsulated as IOStreams.
