That would mean the completion handlers could run concurrently or even 
out of order and would be tricky to handle. With writing then it could 
lead to corruption of the stream (esp. if multiple threads attemped to 
initiate write operations to the stream at around the same time). For 
now AsynchronousSocketChannel doesn't have any support for queuing of 
I/O operations. It may be something we have to come back to in the 
future. There is some prior discussion on this list about this topic 
that may be useful.
