For simple applications working with handles is much more convenient, so I decided to implement a timed handle enumerator instead of a socket enumerator. Perhaps it would be a good idea to add your 'enumSocketTimed' and 'iterSocketTimed' to my netlines package, too. Also I should add 'iterHandleTimeout'. > For setting a global timeout on an entire session, it's better to wrap > the ``run_`` call with ``System.Timeout.timeout`` -- this is more > efficient than testing the time on every chunk, and does not require a > specialised enumerator. It may be more efficient, but I don't really like it. I like robust applications, and to me killing a thread is always a mistake, even if the thread is kill-safe.
