For anyone who noticed that V2.0 seems to be missing a way to get at the exception mask in select... we are adding isis_except(fd, routine, arg), isis_except_sig(fd, cond, arg), and isis_wait(nfd, imask, omask, emask, timeout) with the "obvious" semantics. I was asked why my routine isn't called isis_select... basically, I was never fond of the name "select", and it used to be the case that isis_wait had different arguments than select. Since this is no longer true, I am now seriously considering changing the name from isis_wait to isis_select.
