I don't know. It might be important for binary compatibility
between
releases. But binary compatibility is very hard. We'll probably want
to offer only source compatibility for starters.
O.K.

I thought we had deferror(), or something like that?
We do, as I see now. My complaint is inoperative. That function
didn't pass the apropos test, so I missed it. Sorry.

I think Lisp code should never have to deal with "file
descriptors".
There should be a standard way to hook into the event loop from C,
though.
I'm not talking about Lisp code. I'm talking about C code. I too
believe Lisp code should never deal with file descriptors.
