You might take a look at DReactor then
(http://dsource.org/projects/dreactor), since that's apparently what
it's built around: using fibers and select calls while making the code
_look_ like it's using blocking IO.  The result is clean-looking but
fast code.  I have no idea if it's what you're after though :)
