When I had a query regarding the newer standalone boost, I emailed Chris directly. He very helpfully replied promptly and fully.

I emailed him too, several months ago, and this is what I got back: post() -> handler_is_continuation() == false defer() -> handler_is_continuation() == true

Every piece of information you need is there, exactly once, with not even one character more than is necessary to aid understanding.

Yeah I know what you mean. It is quintessentially D.R.Y.. I'll note that Asio does not use defer() anywhere in its implementation. I have not found any code which demonstrates its use. Thanks
