Hi, I'd like to discuss implementing read timeouts in usocket. I quickly looked at the docs of some implementations and found that CCL, SBCL and ClISP support it mostly effortlessly, but CMUCL does not.
What's the policy for adding a feature? Does it have to be supported on all platforms?
Specifically I want to get a socket stream from usocket and handle a portable usockt:read-timeout-condition when a read timeout occurs.
Regards, Mark
