So you can have a stream handle which does IO::Writeable, but will throw an error on any attempt to write? Anyway, you've answered my question in the other e-mail.
Not sure what you're getting at, but the obvious example is a writeable handle on a full filesystem. I don't think we want Perl deciding to remove IO::Writeable because the fs happens to be full at the instant it's opened.
