I mentioned it before, but it bears repeating since both you and Andrew
expressed that sentiment :

It appears the closest thing to this abstraction is eventual, and
eventual_io is the targeting of eventual at mio.

If we really want that modularity, then adding anything we need like
timers to eventual_io might be the right approach.

Rust may develop slowly but they actually develop abstractions pretty
well.  :)
