Personally, I would want specificity. If I only care about write (eg I'm
only sending), I would only specify poller.WRITE and have my handler
only know and care about that. Possibly it would be good to be able to
raise an exception for events I hadn't handled, but I'd be half inclined
to have my handler do that, were it wanted (yes, there is some tension
in this sentence).

Unless I'm missing something here.

Just my 2c,

I just didn't give up, not riding it out wasn't an option. You don't
crash, until you do. The longer you ride it out the more likely you
are to ride it out. Throwing it away, saves nothing.    - J. Pridmore
