##### basic_stream_socket::basic_stream_socket (4 of 10 overloads)

Construct and open a `basic_stream_socket`.

    template<
        typename ExecutionContext>
    basic_stream_socket(
        ExecutionContext & context,
        const protocol_type & protocol,
        typename enable_if< is_convertible< ExecutionContext &, execution_context & >::value >::type *  = 0);
