Now you can't use the same syntax as you would for a method to
implement a property as whole, instead you need to specify the
getter and/or setter explicitly. This is to allow parent classes
to expand their properties without altering behavior of the child
classes.
The low level I/O primitives are powerful but adds some complexity to
use, for bi-directional streaming communication one ends creating two
Efl.Io.Queue and two Efl.Io.Copier to pipe data to socket when it can
operate.
Then encapsulate the socket using the new Efl.Io.Buffered_Stream, this
will allow the socket, be a dialer or a server client, to be operated
as a single handle that internally carries about the buffering for
you.
As one can see in the examples, compared to their "manual"
alternatives they are very easy to use, ressembling
Ecore_Con_Server/Ecore_Con_Client, but also offers line-based
delimiters and the possibility to let the socket to handle queueing
for you in case you received partial messages (just do not
read/clear/discard the received data).
