// This class manages socket timeouts by running the io_context using the timed
// io_context::run_for() member function. Each asynchronous operation is given
// a timeout within which it must complete. The socket operations themselves
// use lambdas as completion handlers. For a given socket operation, the client
// object runs the io_context to block thread execution until the operation
// completes or the timeout is reached. If the io_context::run_for() function
// times out, the socket is closed and the outstanding asynchronous operation
// is cancelled.
