TBH, I'm not 100% convinced of the need for add_connector(), but Richard Oudkerk claims that it is needed for Windows. (OTOH if WSAPoll() is too broken to bother, maybe we don't need it. It's a bit of a nuisance because code that uses add_writer() instead works just fine on UNIX but would be subtly broken on Windows, leading to disappointments when porting apps to Windows. I'd rather have things break on all platforms, or on none...)
add_connector() is needed to work around the brokenness of WSAPoll(). -- Richard
