/**
* The asio::thread class implements the smallest possible subset of the
* functionality of boost::thread. It is intended to be used only for starting
* a thread and waiting for it to exit. If more extensive threading
* capabilities are required, you are strongly advised to use something else.
*
* @par Thread Safety
* @e Distinct @e objects: Safe.@n
* @e Shared @e objects: Unsafe.
*
* @par Example
* A typical use of asio::thread would be to launch a thread to run an
* io_service's event processing loop:
*
* @par
* @code asio::io_service io_service;
* // ...
* asio::thread t(boost::bind(&asio::io_service::run, &io_service));
* // ...
* t.join(); @endcode
