Itʼs supposed to be a drop in replacement for 'select' to get around
its 1024 open file descriptors limitation which can bite hard
(especially on macOS).

Iʼm guessing CIDER uses subprocesses, which need some further work in
the branch.

Iʼm rebasing the branch onto 'master' and testing it again. Ping me in
a week (although here is not really the right list to talk about
Emacs feature development, we have emacs-devel for that).
