Besides, I think we need "write bytevector from port and return the successful size". 
Just like "write-string!/partial". Now I have to use utf8->string to convert the bytevector to string.
Why we need such a thing? Because once we introduced Non-Block IO ,we 
can not write the whole bytevector in one time. When we get EAGAIN, we 
must skip the bytevector size which is successfully written then try 
again. So we need a "write-bytevector!/partial" or something else.
Fortunately, we don't need such a thing for Non-Block reading since we 
have call-with-bytevector-output-port which could record the size we 
received conveniently.

to use a "do X in N seconds time" function.

I think this "do X in N seconds time" function would be useful. And it's better to provider a "do X in N micro-seconds" too.
