Yes, I totally agree with you if we are talking about I/O handles (including
sockets) only.

But, what about the others sync objects or the message queue ?
In some cases we only have an Event Object for "event driven" programming
(special hardware, third party libraries, etc).
I am not pushing Events over IOCPs, I am only trying to show the
alternatives.
In any case, I'm happy with this project/discussion :)
