I typically only use `send` and `recv` for for connectionless sockets. 
For TCP sockets, it's generally `read` and `write` for me (and it works 
fine).

Windows is a different story, they have different i/o routines for 
system calls (yes, there's the shims for Posix file descriptors, but I 
wouldn't use those anyway).

The larger point is that the reason `read`/`write` are separate from 
descriptor creation is because they are universal, while creation is not.
