hi Tomas!
For Guile, if you enabled suspendable-port, you may schedule the
blocking task captured by delimited continuation.
And use I/O multiplex mechanism (say, select or epoll) for monitoring
the file descriptor (or port).
If there's no available byte at all, then you would never be mentioned
by I/O multiplexer.
That is to say, you can do other works before it mentions you some time.
