What I learned - the addReader/addWriter/etc. API is far too select() 
oriented. Every other alternative (poll, kqeue, windows event thing) works 
by registering and unregistering objects - correct me if I'm wrong.

So instead of having to emulate a select()-like API, we need a select() 
wrapper that acts like poll(). In other words, addReader and friends must go 
when we refactor the event loop code.
