Re: [whatwg/streams] Efficient mapping to Unix-style APIs with pollable readers and writers (Issue #1265)

To me that doesn't seem realistic because it means applications will need to write a custom I/O backend for their WASM port, since the native POSIX APIs don't work this way and Emscripten mimics a POSIX platform.

We should probably reach out to WASI folks to understand what their plans are for defining I/O system calls in WASI 2.0.
