/** Write part of a message to a stream using a serializer.

    This function is used to write part of a message to a stream using
    a caller-provided HTTP/1 serializer. The call will block until one
    of the following conditions is true:
        
    @li One or more bytes have been transferred.

    @li The function @ref serializer::is_done returns `true`

    @li An error occurs on the stream.

    This operation is implemented in terms of one or more calls
    to the stream's `write_some` function.

    The amount of data actually transferred is controlled by the behavior
    of the underlying stream, subject to the buffer size limit of the
    serializer obtained or set through a call to @ref serializer::limit.
    Setting a limit and performing bounded work helps applications set
    reasonable timeouts. It also allows application-level flow control
    to function correctly. For example when using a TCP/IP based
    stream.

    @param stream The stream to which the data is to be written.
    The type must support the @b SyncWriteStream concept.

    @param sr The serializer to use.

    @return The number of bytes written to the stream.

    @throws system_error Thrown on failure.

/** Write part of a message to a stream asynchronously using a serializer.

    This function is used to write part of a message to a stream
    asynchronously using a caller-provided HTTP/1 serializer. The function
    call always returns immediately. The asynchronous operation will continue
    until one of the following conditions is true:

    @li One or more bytes have been transferred.

    @li The function @ref serializer::is_done returns `true`

    @li An error occurs on the stream.

    This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the stream's
    `async_write_some` function, and is known as a <em>composed operation</em>.
    The program must ensure that the stream performs no other writes
    until this operation completes.

    The amount of data actually transferred is controlled by the behavior
    of the underlying stream, subject to the buffer size limit of the
    serializer obtained or set through a call to @ref serializer::limit.
    Setting a limit and performing bounded work helps applications set

    @param stream The stream to which the data is to be written.
    The type must support the @b AsyncWriteStream concept.

    @param sr The serializer to use.
    The object must remain valid at least until the
    handler is called; ownership is not transferred.

    @param handler Invoked when the operation completes.
    The handler may be moved or copied as needed.
    The equivalent function signature of the handler must be:
    @code void handler(
        error_code const& error,        // result of operation
        std::size_t bytes_transferred   // the number of bytes written to the stream
