Yes, the poll/select thing is the important point.
I wouldn't care if the only problem was that I, as the protocol
implementer, would have to implement some kind of workaround in my
protocol library. The problem is that these convoluted semantics leak --
through the use of poll, select et al. -- to the end user.
From my personal experience I can say that end users have pretty hard
time using such complex workarounds instead of simply using a native
file descriptor with standardised semantics.
