I know you want a header only library, but others have voiced the need
to not pollute the namespace with all the stuff from various network
library header files and such.  This almost requires a library
implemented behind the interface.

Along that line, compiles are very slow, probably due to the all-header
implementation.

I looked at asio a while ago, and remember having some other issues, but
do not really recall them at this moment.
