Just to be precise, if asynchronous i/o is real (not emulated) you don't 
have to do anything for the operation to be performed, and run() will just 
demultiplex completion events. This BTW brings up a question of possible 
portability issues resulting from such a difference in behavior.
I also think that 'run' is not descriptive enough, especially if the class 
name becomes 'io_system'. Something like dispatch_events() may be?
