Yes, streams that block the current thread on I/O. Are you saying that I
can already create such streams from an fd? How?
Kon has recently added ##sys#custom-[input|output]-port to the
posix unix which sound like they are useful (Kon, can you say
something about these?)
You can also look at the nbstdin egg, which has a "nonblocking-input-port"
procedure.
