This sounds like what I'm looking for for building a set of networking/pentest tools. Ie, being able to spawn an arbitrary number of IO bound processes without the overhead of OS threads, and the contagion and fracturing of Async. There may still be some fracturing here, ie in the first example (but not the others, inexplicably?) `lunatic::net` vice `std::net`. |

The reason why we provide `lunatic::net` and you can't just use `std::net` is that WASI (system interface for WebAssembly) still doesn't have support for sockets[0]. `lunatic::net::TcpStream` is for now just a drop in replacement for `std::net::TcpStream` and once sockets get standardised you will be able to use the standard library types instead.
