Then you lose the O(1) properties of having the whole system round trip
state for you.  In that regard I'd prefer to use a process per connection.

Ooh really!  What's the hidden way of doing it?

I'm using this as part of implementing Reia and want Reia's socket objects
included in the active mode messages as opposed to raw Erlang ports.  So I
wouldn't be opposed to doing some crazy hacks so long as I can get them to
peacefully coexist with inets.
