In all fairness, that's misinformation. Its true iff your regard
select() as the unification point, but select() is only a band-aid
That's not very cool. Please don't tell me it is "misinformation" when
I was *THERE* when this code was put together, and that is the reason
we have numerous types.
And your treatise on async versus sync doesn't really matter/apply. We
have synchronous APIs. Period. Yes, it would also be nice to have
async, but that is orthogonal to the problem at hand.
