With the recent discussions on streams I figured I'd throw in
a couple of questions.

Does anyone know the reason's for the lack lack of the following
multiplexing features:

	The inability to have more than NOFILES (100 in SVR3.1) STREAMS
	opened/multiplexed?
		-  A multiplexor would seem to be the ideal way to address
			an issue like this efficently.

	The inability to receive signals on more than one STREAM?
		(other than SIGPOLL)
		-	Not only a multiplexing issue.

	The lack of the inverse of a "SIGHUP" signal.
		-	Not only a multiplexing issue.


Does Berkley's SOCKETS feature provide any of these features?
