I don't think that a default implementation is not needed here,
or even how one could be written without making a number of
assumptions. Close, just like read and write, needs to be
handled by whatever external entity is interested in the
readiness information.

A few minor typos: "selected-kkey" "wth"

Otherwise, I think this quite good. It provides a low-level
mechanism to inter-operate with other socket types on the
system.
