I'd greatly appreciate doc patches.  I think nobody looks at
POE::Wheel, so the methods probably ought to be documented in each
subclass.

I briefly considered whether the wheel should guarantee flushing on
shutdown, but I decided against it.  Sometimes people may want to shut
down a client regardless of the input waiting for it.

Maybe the shutdown methods need flush/immediate options?
