solaris has true aynch file i/o. but it uses sigio to tell you when it
something happens. then you have to scan you pending operations to see
which one it was. the idjits should have integrated it with poll().
vms and even nt have async i/o. i am proposing to perl6 that async file
i/o be supported in a more integrated way.
