      If we set an ASIOReactorTimer after the corresponding reactor has been shutdown, the timer will never fire, which is non-obvious behavior based on the documentation of the class. We should consider setting the promise immediately with a 
      ErrorCodes::ShutdownInProgress error if a user sets a timer after the reactor has been shutdown rather than returning a future that will never be fulfilled.
