This is too specific and too much of a hack for something that eventually will become part of std. I would much rather support the standard C++ networking and dump the asio support entirely, than add ifdefs to support old and strange version of asio.

I know WG21 doesn't consider sticking to the asio on std.

The only purpose of the standalone version is not to use boost libraries even header-only.

ASIO is no longer on the standards track.

WG21 is currently considering a proposed standard networking based on P2300 senders and receivers. It is early stage, and there will be zero compatibility with ASIO. - @ned14

Interesting, I see that they aren't getting along very well. But this really just strengthens my opinion on this - there are too many variants of ASIO and the only "famous" one is the Boost one.
