does it support multiple instances for threads and async i/o? what about
event handling and such? i think we need to make a proper api spec on
how the i/o subsystem looks to the outside world and also how it
interacts with the perl6 kernel. as the kernel hasn't been spec'ed or
whatever, we have to wait on that some more.

but i am glad to hear of code that we can use as a first draft.
