[erlang-questions] OTP 22 socket module

Hi,

Is a {active, N} like delivery of data planed for the new socket or will
polling the recv methods be the only way the receive data? What about
non-blocking connect and accept?

My preference would be to get an active notification when data is available
for receive and another one when when a non-blocking write is possible.
Sending and reception should then be left to the caller.
Same goes for non-block accept and connect. Call accept/connect with a
async option and get some message when the procedures finishes.

I do realize that all this could be build with a gen_server/gen_statem
around socket, so I guess the real question is does it make sense to start
build such a wrapper or are the plans to make async functions part of the
socket module?

Thanks
Andreas
