    /* The current design uses `asio::strand`s. The documentation isn't as clear
       as it should be - a `strand` has an internal `mutex` and `bool`. The
       `mutex` synchronizes thread access and the `bool` is set when a thread is
       executing something "in the strand". Therefore, if a callback has lots of
       work to do in a `strand`, asio can switch to some other task instead of
       blocking 1+ threads to wait for the original thread to complete the task
       (as is the case when client code has a `mutex` inside the callback). The
       downside is that asio _always_ allocates for the callback, even if it can
       be immediately executed. So if all work in a strand is minimal, a lock
       may be better.

       This code uses a strand per "zone" and a strand per "channel in a zone".
       `dispatch` is used heavily, which means "execute immediately in _this_
       thread if the strand is not in use, otherwise queue the callback to be
       executed immediately after the strand completes its current task".
       `post` is used where deferred execution to an `asio::io_service::run`
       thread is preferred.

       The strand per "zone" is useful because the levin
       `foreach_connection` is blocked with a mutex anyway. So this primarily
       helps with reducing blocking of a thread attempting a "flood"
       notification. Updating/merging the outgoing connections in the
       Dandelion++ map is also somewhat expensive.

       The strand per "channel" may need a re-visit. The most "expensive" code
       is figuring out the noise/notification to send. If levin code is
       optimized further, it might be better to just use standard locks per
       channel. */
