Well, again, I have a rather major technical concern about the use of
WaitForMultipleObjects in this scenario, so as the Windows maintainer,
I'd like to see that addressed.  You can't reliably just use
WaitForMultiple on, say, a serial port, a socket, or a pipe, so I don't
know how this would ever work.
