Good to know. Unfortunately LuaSocket is still the more widely used
socket library (I know there are others too), and I don't particularly
feel like rewriting the socket framework in my server (especially not
now I just got it working with libevent).

In fact I've looked at nixio before, but can't recall what I didn't
like about it, without digging into it again. On the other hand the
all-in-one approach is sadly appealing to someone who has spent too
long battling against different libraries and their various sore
points.
