### async_read

Start an asynchronous operation to read a certain amount of data from a stream.

    template<
        typename AsyncReadStream,
        typename MutableBufferSequence,
        typename ReadHandler>
    void-or-deduced async_read(
        AsyncReadStream & s,
        const MutableBufferSequence & buffers,
        ReadHandler handler);

        typename AsyncReadStream,
        typename MutableBufferSequence,
        typename CompletionCondition,
        typename ReadHandler>
    void-or-deduced async_read(
        AsyncReadStream & s,
        const MutableBufferSequence & buffers,
        CompletionCondition completion_condition,
        ReadHandler handler);
