Isn't one of the problems that the timeout is global?
Also, I'd expect that if you did this as a standard feature, the
implementation would be completely different (e.g. integrate it in the
C socket code).
I think it would be great if timeouts were added to sockets (and
*maybe* the global timeout is even a good thing). But I'd like to see
a design first rather than code.
