I am actually unsure what the scope of this proposed library is.  It
covers a demultiplexor.  What else?  There is likely some additional
machinery needed to get from system-level source to what IOStreams (or
whatever) operates on.  I think the demultiplexor should be considered
separately from other proposed features, including even actual handling
of I/O or any blocking operations.
