Is it possible to stay compatible with mio's interface, perhaps via something layered on top?

I'd have to look into it, haven't checked out mio in months, but I don't see any reason why it couldn't be compatible with it. Any particular reason?

I'm clearly not pcwalton@ but my thoughts would be: It would be a cool experiment to verify the Mio interface.

i.e. If an entirely isolated re-implementation of async-io in Rust can benefit from or easily standardize to a common interface, that gives the interface far more validity as a good/simple/generic interface.
