I think this is much simpler...  I start an asynchronous read giving it a
function object to call when it is done.  However, if it is not done in
let's say 1 sec, I want to _cancel this read_ and take an alternative route.
I don't want the read function object to be called if the read completes
_after_ the timeout has been processed.

Isn't this a common scenario?

Thanks,
