That's a pretty large change in behavior from the "illegal" that is
mentioned in the draft right now. I thought there was no agreement about
having "smart" blocking. Or does this only happen if there's no
corresponding read/write listener set ?
There should be an exception to that though: asynchronous writes (made
from outside of a container thread) normally cannot become blocking
since it could then mean concurrent operations (and a crash for the
native implementation I use), and should be a programming error anyway.
