Well, I still think it is worth discussing with other folks, as this
can only help to inform your efforts.

How does Windows TLS work? Is it buffer-oriented? Or does Windows
control the socket? The answer to this question will have dramatic
influence on how your code is designed. If Windows wants to control
the socket, it will require more finesse and understanding of Asio to
author an I/O object that implements Windows TLS.
