and doesn't monopolize control flow away from foreign components, is the
most important feature needed for a standards-track sockets proposal.

Please do not consider submitting this library for review without this.
 I expect that the work of creating this interface, in a form that
addresses everyone's diverse needs, will dwarf the amount of effort
required to create a synchronous socket streambuf.  This is not a
feature that can be tacked on later: it is essential to the design.
