Exactly so. Exposing platform APIs as-is really doesn't need much
discussion, except when the platform wrapper is going to deviate
significantly from the platform API. There is a long tradition of
exposing even obscure unixish APIs in Python, making it the #1 language
to write exotic scripts in. We definitely want to continue this
tradition.

Please refrain from trying to come up with "abstractions", though;
this should be outside of Python for the moment. Covering both Unix
AIO and Windows completion ports (say) may be quite a challenge
(but then, JP may have some view on this).
