There is any good set of ASIO I/O object fakes available?

Beast experimental interfaces provide testing facilities which meet the requirements of the following Asio concepts:

SyncReadStream SyncWriteStream AsyncReadStream AsyncWriteStream

This is provided by the boost::beast::test::stream class, which works with the test::fail_counter class to allow for automated failure testing.

This is really useful! I guess the main things people will miss are: - Fake Timer: it must be extreme common, to implement network timeouts - Fake Resolver/Acceptor/Connect to Protocol::endpoint But it also gives an example of how to implement fakes, so people should be able to do so for those extra things. I see you don't allocate read_op using the handler associated allocator. Is this on purpose? I don't see any problem with this but I also fail to see other, real, problems when looking at ASIO code and was afraid of doing it myself.
