This is interesting, but the only intersection with sockets seems to be at the socket_stream level (which appears to be an undefined concept in the current wiki pages, but is in the server code example). Is there a reason why we can't define a simple socket library first as a lower layer without the complications of multiplexing and threading and then add those on top? >...lots of detail removed... > > The only hassle is that deriving a streambuf can be a little bit > daunting but I think this is small price to pay.

If it breaks down, then we will know what to recommend to the committee to fix it...
