You're failing to consider async applications.  AFAICS, the *minimum*
API would be
        read
        write
        read ready?
        write ready?
        get socket so I can use it in select()
(very possibly there's some stuff I missed, considering I haven't
consumed any caffeine yet today...).  And that's just considering
the data transport aspect of it.  I'm still concerned that SSL-using
apps may wish to twiddle the SSL library in ways we don't even know
about.
