Is Boost.Spawn intended to be useful on its own, or is it only usable in Boost.ASIO?
It can only be used with boost .asio (or with the forthcoming C++ std::io_context). The lib is intended to replace the boost::asio:::spawn().
In this case why should it be a separate library and not just part of Boost.ASIO? What would be the value for Boost users or other Boost libraries?
Getting code into Asio would require Chris Kohlhoff's buy-in.
Using this library in Boost.ASIO also requires Chris' cooperation, doesn't it? And if this library is not useful outside Boost.ASIO and Chris is not interested, I just don't see the point.
