AsynchronousCharChannel

[Gili]

I found Alex's JProactor framework here:
http://jproactor.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/jproactor/trunk/nio2/src/au/com/terabit/nio2/filter/

I have two problems with AsynchronousCoder.

1) The code is sparsely documented.
2) It's too "abstract". I'm looking for a practical/simple solution to a
common use-case.

I don't think it makes sense to implement readLine() the same way as
read(CharBuffer) because in the former case you know how many characters the
buffer must contain whereas in the latter case you have no idea how long the
line will be. That's why BufferedReader.readLine() returns a String instead
of taking in a char[].

Anyway, I think we better wait until I finish implementing this API. Once
I'm done I will post the code for your review and you can judge how well it
fits (or not) alongside NIO2.

Thank you,
Gili
