As the author of an I/O runtime, I agree that there's tremendous value
in an abstraction such as this so libraries and applications can better
interoperate with each other using a well-defined vocabulary.

Some things to consider in the design space are already existing libraries
and APIs like readv/writev and libssl's BIO pairs. Whatever abstractions
we so choose, they should be designed with these kinds of usages in mind
first and foremost.
