Right. What I've learned from the comments is that splice is
only usable in multi-threaded programs. One thread is
reading, one is writing from the other end. I deferred using
splice until we have the proper architecture to do sync
syscalls in helper threads to make them virtually async. We
have some code for that now, but it's not a high priority
for me at this moment.
