So far in this discussion (I'm not really contributing very much) I agree
with several things:

a) We should have a PEP outlining the proposed new "async" lib.
b) It should be general purpose enough to use without Twisted (for example)

I like the idea of having an "async" core in the std. lib that takes care
of cross-platform polling of I/O descriptors, notifications and timers.
