Asynchronous buffered file I/O

you write:

Networking supports AIO reasonably well.

That might be true for TCP, but AFAICS there's no api that lets us use UDP with asynchroneous I/O. The problem is that, besides the actual data, address information has to be passed on send and receive, and the aio_* API does not allow that information to be passed.
