I think libdispatch would be the better choice, since it’s what’s going to be
used in Swift’s standard library going forward.

The dispatch_io API lets you use libdispatch with file descriptors, so working
with TCP would just involve making the usual system calls to open the
connection and then creating a dispatch_io_t from the FD. It should just take a
couple of lines of code.
