hi list,

i've recently been working on a FreeBSD-specific project[0] written in
C++, as part of which i wrote some lightweight C++ wrappers for kqueue
which allow C++ users to consume kqueue in a more modern manner.

for example, using coroutines (async) to replace C-style callbacks with
code which is much easier to write and to read using co_await.

it occurred to me that if this wrapper was included in base, it might be
useful for various daemons and other bits of software that exist in
base.

would there be any interest if i were to submit a patch with a new base
library along these lines?
