IMO, it's not reasonable since the application could use something
different than select.select(), like select.poll() or something else
again.
I guess that the best thing to have in such case would be having an
"ssl-ized" wrap of the socket which follows the same behaviour of a
classical non-blocking socket, then it would be up to the application
deciding what to do with it.
That way the asynchronous application which wants to switch to a
secure connection would just need to wrap the socket by using
ssl.wrap_socket() without altering the existing code.

Note that I'm just talking about end-user API design.
Actually I don't know what happens under the hoods so I'm not even
sure which are the real implications.
