[issue35580] Windows IocpProactor: CreateIoCompletionPort 4th arg 0xffffffff -- why is this value the default?

> Am I correct that only one thread calls `GetQueuedCompletionStatus` on a given `iocp` object in asyncio under Windows `IocpProactor`?

An asyncio event loop must only run in a single thread at the same time. It doesn't make sense to run the same event loop multiple times in parallel and it is not supported (most asyncio classes are not thread-safe, there is no need to be thread-safe).
