The logic in it is identical to the original import of code in OpenSSL.
It originally had #ifdefs around how the BIO interface worked. That was
tidied up in a commit back in 2001. I think it's fair to say it's been
pretty stable.

I don't read the comment as saying that, fwiw. It just says we may
eventually need to do what I did now, but for other reasons.

Do you have a comment around the "should we prepare for read even though
it's a write" part?
